SharePoint List View Restrictions not working
I have created a SharePoint list to track individual attendance for an organization. The organization has 2 ways to track and manage attendance: In-Office and Alternative Office
We have created a list with 2 forms where individuals can use either or to log their attendance. The In-Office form is only available on a tablet set up in the office. Because of how this was set up it has it's own Log-In, so I cannot filter by Created By (Only) as it will not show the person, but the ID of the tablet.
I have filters in place to Filter for Created By = Tablet ID or Created By = [Me]. To my understanding and testing this will show me any items created by Me or the Tablet ID (or if someone else is logged in the Tablet ID and Them). I added an "AND" filter as well for Name = [Me], again to restrict the items to:
Only Items that I OR the Tablet has created AND my name is listed.
This is working for me but I'm an admin, Other users (View Only) are not able to see anything.
Any idea why this is not showing the other users the same view as me (except with their own personal information)?

Hi Reeliq Sorry for the late reply.
Please check if Name is also a person field, and verify the unique permissions on the missing items.
You might also try splitting your filters into multiple views to see which parts are actually working —
for example, one view with just the CreatedBy filter, and another with the Name filter.BTW, I’m wondering if filtering by just Name might be sufficient in your case.
