DEMO: Cross-Doc Access Without Syncing

OVERVIEW

Our largest customer

Villain Style⁠

wants to store employee settings in another table in another document.

They don’t want to sync over the entire table—they simply want to lookup specific values and use those in other documents.

Instead of referencing a specific table, we’re direct-referencing the table by finding the rows.

FindTableRows returns JSON, so you’ll need to call ParseJson to access the data.

When accessing the row column, you’ll need the ID of the column. Use the TableSchema table to get a list of all columns and their IDs.
