Hi there, I have a table called Today’s Schedule. It uses a nightly automation to lookup the current day’s schedule from my Time Blocker, so that when I wake up in the morning my daily plan is waiting for me. It also includes columns for completing each task (checkbox), indicating progress made (pr…

Hi @Matthew_Shane , adding another table to your doc everyday is a bad idea that eventually creates a huge mess. Instead, try making use of codas features like filtered views! In this case, I would suggest to have one database for all tasks with a due date column. Today’s Schedule just has to be a …

Thanks for the suggestion. In this case, having the tables delinked is absolutely the way I want to go, so unless I’m missing another way to do this, I’m pretty sure I can’t use filtered views.

Why do you need them to be delinked??? I defintiely think you actually DONT want that

Hi Matthew, I agree with Scott, stick to one table, unless you absolutely, definitely have to have another table. 10k rows a year is not too bad. There is also nothing that prevents you from archiving the data older than six month, or 6 years… :wink: Also there is no need to manually filter to th…

Try using Today() or some smart formula filter to just use a filtered view of the main table. No need to erase itself or anything. You want a table that works as an archive so you can look at the data later or build something fun of the history. But that is not your working view, its just your main …
