 * Hello
    Still new and still struggling and still hugely impressed… I think I have
   the retrieval of information more or less under control. However… I would like
   to create a form that would enable users to enter, modify and (perhaps) retrieve
   their own information. Are there any forms that will enable me to do that and
   that are already integrated/integratable with WP Data Access? Not sure where 
   to find it/them.
 * Thank you for your help
    Andrew

 * Hi Andrew,
 * Good to hear you are making progress! 🙂
 * WP Data Access allows you to use the WordPress user info in your forms. The basics
   are described here:
    [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-projects/user-roles-and-where-clauses/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-projects/user-roles-and-where-clauses/)
 * To use this feature your students will need to have a WordPress account. The 
   WordPress admin user needs to add the WordPress user id to the student information
   in let’s say the student table. Then you can use the $$USERID$$ variable in your
   default where to restrict the data shown on a student results page for example.
   This ensures that students will see only their own results.
 * Does this help?

 * Hello and thank you Peter.
    I was actually wondering whether users could change
   their own data. I think I understand about users VIEWING their own data, but 
   changing it is a different story.
 * Cheers

 * Hi Andrew,
 * Good point! 🙂
 * To prevent students being able to change their own data, you need to create two
   project pages and two project templates. On page level you can define which transactions
   are allowed. In the project templates you can for example hide the WordPress 
   user id for students and make it editable for admins.
 * Does that make sense?

 * OK. Thanks Peter – good information. I will investigate the templates. It sounds
   like a template can work a bit as a form and enable editing of information (which
   is what I want in the context that I am working on at the moment).

 * >>> It sounds like a template can work a bit as a form
 * Correct Andrew! A template allows to define which columns are shown on a table
   and a data entry form. You can handle different forms for different user groups
   with separate templates.
 * Good luck 🙂
