How would you implement a hub-and-spoke set of documents, such that each employee has a private time tracking doc, and the data is aggregated into a management doc? @Paul_Danyliuk 's Sync Tables Pro seems like a reasonable basis (I haven’t really done any hub-and-spoke stuff yet but my understandin…

Hi @Nick_HE . Do you need a separate doc for each person? You could have a single doc and page where you filter the view of the time tracking table based on the current user. This requires you include a column for the coda user name (so you can filter based on that). When I have used this approa…

Thanks @Jim_Holincheck ! Yeah I need data privacy between the users unfortunately. One other tip (that I think I learned from Paul too haha) is to have a button that shows up for new users. Clicking it adds User() to the user table and then disables the button (to avoid the admin having to add the…

Best way to do this (without wacky workarounds like my two way sync pack or 3rd party software) is likely going to be using sync pages (when their next iteration comes out) And then automating the creation of sync pages and their container docs via buttons for all the employees. This process can b…

Ooh interesting @Scott_Collier-Weir ! I haven’t tried this Pack yet. Would I still need to manually create a filtered view per employee in the hub doc? (So that each person only sees their own records in the spoke)

Nope! Not at all. Confident you could set it up - it would allow for a fully automated set up. You simply have a helper table defining WHERE (aka url) the spoke docs are. BUT there’s also an easy process to create your spoke docs with the coda doc pack so all that is auto logged. So if a task is …

Hey @Scott_Collier-Weir a loom would be useful as I tried myself using your pack before without success.

Hi @Scott_Collier-Weir , I would absolutely LOVE to be able to do what you’ve described here. I have been trying to work out how to create two different hub-and-spoke systems. One system is very similar to what OP @Nick_HE described, only instead of time tracking, it would be for employees to submi…

Hey Sam! Have you tried using the pack yet and/or have you seen the explanation video that accompanies the pack?

Great questions - after finding this thread, I found and watched a number of your explainer videos. I’m in the process of attempting to build a bare-bones version of the system, regularly referring back to your videos and other community threads as I go. I’ll check back in here with an update once…

Update - I’ve spent a decent amount of time going through the loom explainer video. It’s great, thank you for going to the effort of recording it. I’ve learnt a lot about how to set up the 2-way sync. That said, still I seem to be missing something. I’ll try and describe the issue I’m having: Doc …
