FAQ

What is the difference between one-way linking and two-way linking?

1. One-way linking shows the linked field only in the current table.
2. Two-way linking creates linked fields in both the current table and the target table.
3. If you only need to reference target records from the current table, one-way linking is the simpler choice.

Why can’t I select target data after creating a linked field?

1. Check whether the field has already been configured with a target table.
2. Confirm that your account has permission to access the target table.
3. If you are linking another table, make sure the target table already contains selectable records.

What should I check if auto-matching does not work?

1. Open Field Settings and confirm that the linking method is set to Auto Match.
2. Check whether the matching conditions align with the actual data in the target table.
3. Save the settings and review whether matching records have been linked.
