Filtering a view to show only content created by the current user

Filtering a view to show only content created by the current user

This is very straightforward, but I always forget how to do it. I'm writing this post in part so that I have something to refer back to :-).

So, in order to filter a view so that it only shows content that has been created by the currently logged-in user:

  1. Create the view!
  2. Add an argument for User: Uid
  3. Under "Action to take if argument is not present", select "Provide default argument" and then "User ID from logged in user".
  4. Hit Update, then save your view. You're done!
THANKS!

Simple, concise post to solve a frequently asked question! Plus it ranks well on Google ... bravo!

Thank you :)

Where just searching for several minutes and already started doubting whether it's possible or not.

It's so easy if you know how to do it ;)
