Any table that you have created with a common data set can be synchronized. When you do this, SeaTable matches the data in the table with that in the shared data set. These will be overwritten if you or your group members have made changes to the shared data set since the last synchronization. On the one hand, you can perform the synchronization manually for each table, but on the other hand, you can also set an automatic periodic synchronization.
Manual synchronization of a common data set
- Click the triangle icon to the right of the name of a table created with a common record.
- Click Synchronize with record.
- Click Synchronize Now.
Date change only when change
The displayed date of the last synchronization only changes if values have been changed in the source base and thus data is really synchronized. If no values have changed, the displayed synchronization date does not change either.
If the synchronization is successful, the following message appears:
Periodic synchronization of a common data set
- Click the triangle icon to the right of the name of a table created with a common record.
- Click Synchronize with record.
- Click the Enable automatic synchronization button.
- Select whether automatic synchronization should be performed daily or hourly.
Restrictions on periodic synchronization
- Currently, the periodic synchronization is performed automatically only if changes have been made to the original shared record.
- Hourly synchronization of a shared data set is currently only available to users with an Enterprise subscription.
