This instructs me to synchonize the dataset by **“clicking ºSync with dataset in the Customers (live) table menu”
**
I cannot find a Sync button or link anywhere on the page! …?? I’m in the Customers (live) table and not a sync button or feature to be seen anywhere.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Can someone point to where this ‘sync’ feature resides?
Hello and welcome to the SeaTable Forum. You have to click on the triangle icon to the right of the name of your table to open the table menu. There you should see the option “Sync with dataset”.
Following the course 3 step 5… after creating the CD can grant access to another group (in this case Marketing).
That’s fine. Except there seems to be no way of Malika (Marketing admin) ‘knowing’ or ‘being informed’ that a CD has been made available to the Marketing department. Malika can only know about this CD if she’s been told about it in person, or by a separate communication (email) outside the seatable ecosystem, or by just happening, luckily, to click the Common Datasets in the left column of the bases page…and why would Malika do that if she’s no knowledge of a CD heading her way?
If I was her I would expect at the least for Seatable to automatically send me an email notifying me of the creation and availability of a CD. Otherwise Malika just has to use her intuition or (again luckily) spot some tiny notification mark in the header of her seatable home page…which she ain’t looking at all the time!
Something “being available” to other groups is little use if they are not told and notified that something is available for them!
Just seems odd to me that the seatable system doesn’t auto-send an email notification for stuff like that.
(n.b. I have been following the course and acting as two people, the main admin and the marketing group admin. Acting as Malika, with a distinct email address, I’ve received no notifications about anything.)
Hi @TheDarkLord, first of all, sorry to answer that late, I missed your message
Second, as far as I know, you’re the first user (except for the SeaTable team) that is following Online Course 3 about collaboration, so congratulations, but also many thanks!
You’re right, sharing a common dataset currently doesn’t notify anyone, and this is probably something missing. Notifying every member of the group doesn’t sound realistic, but at least the owner and/or the admin(s) could be really interesting. For now, you have to manually notify Malika, for example by mentioning here in the first row’s comments of Campaign Hub - Customers list (manual):
@Malika I shared with you the Customers (live) common dataset please consider using it instead of your stale Customers list (manual)
Do you mean any notification by email, or any built-in notifications at all, neither on the home page nor in the base editor?
Bests,
Benjamin
PS: please note that we’re currently working on a rework to avoid working with both windows, which is a bit heavy. Don’t worry, the course content remains, so no need for you to take the course again!
PS2: Did you take the quiz already? I can’t find your submission
Do it like thousands of other people who have used SeaTable to develop powerful processes and get their ideas and tasks done more efficiently.
