Transitioning from Filemaker to Creator 5, basic questions

Transitioning from Filemaker to Creator 5, basic questions

Hello. I was excited to see the mobile functionality of C5 and decided to rebuild my Filemaker app in Creator. I have so many questions, but the main ones I have right now are:

1) How can I test the app as a customer (not administrator)? Do I need a separate Creator account? Do I have to go so far as buying customer portal functionality?

2) I have a test score input form that my clients will use to update their latest scores (they can take the test repeatedly). Occasionally, I will update their scores for them as well. I don't think I need to use a subform for this, because I can simply filter the report so that a customer can only see their information. Is that correct?

If so, I believe the proper filter would be:

Added_User == zoho.loginuser (Is this correct?)

I will have several more forms that follow this pattern, so if I can get it right for one of them, the others should follow.

As the administrator, how do I make sure that I can see my customers' individual records as well? Do I need to create a completely separate report? Are these controls managed in the customer portal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
