Automatic Links
An automatic link is a form of relationship that automatically links based on lookup values in the two collections
An automatic link can be added to any non-Noloco data source, such as Google Sheets or Airtable.
It allows you to add a custom link to another collection/record from an existing record and then automatically sync that value with a lookup value.
For example:
If you have two spreadsheets, one named
Software and one named Suppliers
The Software sheet has a Supplier Name column and the Supplier sheet has a Name column. But there's no link between them (because it's a spreadsheet) You can define a new Automatic link field on the
Software table: Supplier
Then you can make it automatically link when Supplier Name = Supplier​
Automatic link between Supplier and Supplier Name
​
Automatic links are bi-directional, so if you then update the linked field on a record (say the Supplier field), Noloco will automatically prefil the
Supplier Name field in your spreadsheet with the correct value.
This makes it much easier to work with, as it introduces better filters, better views and better permissions. Last modified 6mo ago
