At this point I have spent many hours working out a way to get Nordic skiers on my site to be able to submit on the front end Snow Reports to list on a table for the public to see.
As I understand it, after a user logs in they can add a line to the table, this data can not be edited by others logged in, good. But the public can not see it either on the table once submitted.
WHy? I would have thought once submitted the data could be displayed on my site.
I had to make a new table, and query my first table (as your video suggested) to show everyone's entries to the public.
Is this the way I need to setup the feature? It seems a bit odd. Is there a better way?
The Users can see and edit only own data has the properties exactly like You described in Your question here. So a user can log in and insert their own data, but they will not be able to see and edit other users' data.
You can create two pages, one is for the skiers who input data, and the other one will pull all data and display it for the public. If I understood You correctly, that is exactly how You set it up right now.
That is the only way to go about this for now, but since we carefully follow customers requirements and try to implement most of them if they appear in requests from time to time, we will add this to our idea list and look into some possible solutions on plugin side in the future.
