By default, the miniExtensions Client Portal shows the logged-in user the Airtable records that they are linked to, but one of the features of the portal is the ability to show the user all the records in the table as well in a separate tab. Allowing them to browse and explore more records.
💡Tip
This feature makes the most sense when combined with this other function: Linking Records in miniExtensions Portal.
Use Cases
This extension can be useful in a lot of scenarios. You can use it for:
- Employees directory
- Events & activities list
Below you can find the Airtable data source that was used for the demo above.
I have an Airtable base that I share with students of my online course. If students want to add new rows to the base, they must first make a copy of the base. Once they have their copy of my base, they aren’t able to automatically receive the updates that I add. Could you advise a solution that would allow users to both add their own custom rows and content to the base, but would keep their own data private, whilst allowing them to see new updates to the base that I add from the ‘master’ base?
We don’t have a solution for multiple bases, but if you would like to allow your students to have their own private records in a single base, while still being able to see some other public records that you add to the base, then you can do that by enabling’ this feature in our portal extension.
