This works great when your members are creating their own entries. But what about if you are creating their entries for them?

You can use a User Merge Tag to filter the entries by comparing a field in the View to the currently logged-in user’s data. Here is an example of what that would look like with an email address:

Gravity Forms lists some additional options for User Merge Tags in this article.

You can embed this View on a page and link to that page in your site’s menu with a “Your Profile” link. There your members will be able to view their profile and edit it if needed.
