Customize the API generated code: New at this

[mbyrdrhia]

Greetings,

I am trying to revise the generic Filemaker API generated site so that it will be limited to finding and editing one record after a user logs in. The record is found using the user’s login ID which is a field in the database. I have a successful API site build using the full site template.

The workflow would be:

1. User log in
   
2. Clicks a link to display the Browserecord API page
   
3. Clicks the edit button to edit using the API Edit page and can save
   
4. Log out
   

What are the steps to revise the API generated site to do this? I would like to create a link on the API Home page to look up the user record and display it on the Browserecord page. It seems th API creates a find request that is built conditionally and is among several pages. Help is appreciated.
