Step 2: Write Data in Your Spreadsheet

Common Warning

Before pushing data to Retable, it's essential to understand a few key points:

• Read-only fields. Some fields in your Google Sheets are read-only, indicated by a grey background. Any data written in these columns will not be updated in Retable and will be disregarded.

• Fields with options: For columns with predefined options, ensure that the data you enter matches one of the available options; otherwise, you may encounter errors.

Case 1: Updating an imported Record

If you wish to update an existing Retable record, simply overwrite the data in the corresponding row of your spreadsheet.

Case 2: Creating a new Record

To create a new record, simply write data in a new row of your spreadsheet. Leave the column "ID" blank. An ID will be automatically generated when the record is created.

Step 3: Push data back to Retable

Once you are satisfied with the data you want to transfer, proceed with the following steps:

• On the corresponding Connection, click on the Options icon

• Click on the menu item "Push Data back to Retable"

Select "Push Data back" option

A pop-up window will appear to confirm your intent to push data back to Retable. If you're ready to proceed, click on "Push."

Dokin will then perform the following checks:

Case 1: Records Without IDs

If some records in your spreadsheet do not have an ID, Dokin will detect this and ask if you want to create new entries for records without IDs. You can choose to check or uncheck this option based on your preference.

Case 2: Fields That Do Not Match

If any headers in your spreadsheet do not match with Retable fields, you will need to select the appropriate Retable field that corresponds to the column. Ensure that all fields are correctly mapped for a successful data transfer.
