Q: Is it possible to make a dropdown field that dynamically changes the options of another dropdown field based on user selection?

For example, If I choose the Social Media Networks topic, the Subtopic field will show options such as Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Q: Hey there, just wanted to give an AppSumo pricing suggestion that I think will help you get upgrades or more sales.

I bought the 1st Tier as 5 members is more than enough, but I would definitely upgrade for more records. Either way I'm happy with the purchase, just thought I'd mention it. More records per additional Tier would entice people to get bigger licenses.

A: Hello,

Spreadsimple is a no-code website builder. It helps you convert your Google Sheets into websites.

Retable, however, helps you organize all your data, collaborate on your data, and create intelligent data views with your data, without the need for Google Sheets or any other data management tool. Retable offers you a good data management environment by combining the flexibility of spreadsheets with the capabilities of databases. It also allows you to create small business applications with your data.

Spreadsimple is a good option for those who want to create a website without learning how to code. Retable is a good option for those who want to manage data with a single platform and collaborate on data securely.

Hope it helps! 😊

Q: Before my next move - refund or another tier.

SUPPORT - is there any? Have a list of questions waiting via the "support feature" in the table dashboard.
These queries are unfortunately -pooled- (rather than one thread to follow through for each issue) so it is one endless line of queries. Meaning when someone does answer they pick the last out of a line of queries over the few days between responses.
Which renders that system - Useless for support.

The answer given last is the kicker for us.
ADA issues are not insignificant so
Join Discord and ask our great big community for help is in no way practical or a business option.

Please advise as we would really like to use and support you but without actual business support it leaves everyone out in the -neterhlands- as far as operating in an instant business world.

Q: What do you mean with "records"?

Is that a row in a table? Because I see in the Appsumo plan description it says "50,000 records per table".
Thank you.

Q: Hi Guys, Been looking for tools to help clients with their data capturing and analysing.

Been looking at Airtable until I found Retable. Just a couple of questions.

1- Does the form have the capability of logic questions and reference-related table data? ie If a selection is made, open up other questions etc. also if a location is selected in the form, all the relevant data from that location can be pre-filled from the table?

2- Can the table data integrate with dashboarding tools like Google Data Studio or PowerBI? As this is most important for the data we will be capturing.

3- Does the automation trigger work based on conditions? ie if new record is created and "value" is > 100, then send email to .....

4. Are any output options via the platform or other integrations? ie if an incident report is logged into system, create a pdf form of the information submitted. (Currently using cognito forms for the method)

Thanks

Ben

A: Hey Ben! 🙌🏻

It's nice to see you there. 😊 Let me help you with your questions.

1) Since Retable's online forms are created from the columns in your spreadsheets, conditional questions are not allowed now, but with the help of the "if function" we will add to our online forms, it will be possible to ask conditional questions.
I'm not sure I understand the question you want to ask about the locations, but if a location is selected in the form, the full address of this location will be automatically answered. However, if you have saved another location-related data in a different Retable table and you want this data to appear in your table when the relevant location is selected, it is possible to do this with our reference & lookup columns. But I think I can answer this question better if we can talk about the exact case. 😊

2) Retable has integrations with Zapier and Make.com. It's also possible to use our API to integrate Retable with other tools.

Check these related links;
📌 Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps/discord/integrations/retable
📌 Make.com: https://www.make.com/en/integrations/retable
📌 API:https://docs.retable.io/retable-user-guide/retable-api/api

3) Yes! Our automation trigger can work based on conditions.
4) Retable allows you to export your data as CSV without any integration but we're also working on other exporting options like PDF.

Hope it helps Ben! 😊

Q: I see n8n integration (coming soon!)

announced on your website. Do you have an ETA?
The main use case I have for Retable involves n8n, so if it's there, it's a buy and keep for me.

Q: I have a Use Case: Bob is managed by Mary.

Mary is managed by Sue.
Sue is managed by Jackie.

Tom is an Administrator.

Users can only create, read, and update their rows... and they cannot see other users' rows.

Managers can create, read, and update their own rows and create, read, and update the rows of the people who they manage.

Administrators can create, read, and update all the rows.

Does Retable support this Use Case?

We don't have image selections. Sorry but I will add this to our wish list. And it would be great to have it, thanks for raising this up.

I think it will work well with selections, combos and radio.

And we don't have the multi step feature yet. It seems that we would not bring that in near future(3 months)

Q: Hi there, the Retable Make Integration is not working, but this is the most important feature I need.

If this doesn't work, I need to request a refund and still need to use Airtable.

https://capture.dropbox.com/WVL252HtUymoV52X

During the creation of my first tables, it also seemed to be a bit buggy. Is the product really production or a beta? I've used Google Chrome and during the creation a couple of times my columns were gone or data switched between columns and got lost. That is really horrible, when I imagine using it for essential data.

Some of those bugs occurred sporadic, but the column creation bug is reproducible.

For example: It is not possible to create a batch of columns, the system forces to create or change each column one by one and save after each edit / creation. Because it will lose the columns if you do not, but there is no warning when hit "Add column".

Video: https://capture.dropbox.com/C2dr0vc2qqaxnPf5

It is really unproductive to close and reopen the column's dialog every single time when creating or editing a larger tables column structure.

Q: Very interested.

Right now I am using Airtable for a ton of stuff, and use a third party provider (Miniextensions) to create forms that allow external users to update their records.

Is there a comparable feature built into Retable that would pass an external user a form with data from the table that can be updated? Basically a prepopulated form with existing data that can be edited? Or are the forms only for gathering new data?

A: Many of our users sharing their views via public share links with their clients.

The view only shares (without exports) are on our roadmap and almost ready to test.

But not really sure what exactly you are looking for.

Better to come on our discord channel or email is from support@retable.io

Kind regards.

Q: Hello Retable Team, Previous users have asked about the password features but no solid answer was given.

Can Passwords be added to:
1) Shared Public Views
2) Shared Public Forms

It would be wild if we could add more than 1 password for each, to control access. For example, how Spreadsimple.com does it.

Kindly acknowledge if this is important to you and if it will be available down the line with some sort of important.

Retable is Data, Data is important and Data should be protected. :)

Thanks!

Q: Hi there, I'd like to get your input on a personal case use for this product as I think it'll suit my needs, but I'm unsure.

Here it is:

I have a cleaning company and I'm looking for an affordable CRM and team management system that gives me the freedom to build it the way I want.

I'd be recording clients' personal data and their job's details. I'd also need to match and assign those jobs with my team. Then I have a few questions:

1 - Would the app generate reports based on what I build? Like team member performance, number of jobs, monthly revenue, etc?

2 - Does it integrate with my calendar? And can I integrate it with my team's calendar too? Like when I book a client, having that appointment showing automatically on their calendar.

3 - Does it have a mobile app for me and my team manage things on the go? If not, any idea of when it's coming?

4 - What does "table" mean? In my case, would that be the number of clients I could record? And how to get more of that? And how much does it cost?

5 - Hoe does the notification work? Email, SMS... What is it?

I highly appreciate your response.

A: Hello. Thanks for your considerations.

Retable is a tool that does many things including data visibility, granual data sharing, mini CRMs, asset management systems, data collections using forms.

But, it is not a real CRM that costs you thousands of USDs.

Most of our users using zapier, make, pabbly to get the power of other tools and build their own stack for less.

We as Retable are sitting right in the middle of every data related, editing and collections tasks.

Our mobile apps are in test flights. They are about to be released but AppSumo days went super super busy and we could not finalize the releases.

Table means the data, you can have as many table as you want with a total limit of 50k records per project. Projects are thr groups of tables.

The notifications are emails only but you can use other integration tools after we released the webhooks.

Cheers
