Share view

Sharing a specific view of a table becomes highly valuable when you need to collaborate with individuals outside your organization who need access to specific sections of your database. This shared view provides a read-only perspective, accessible to anyone, regardless of their workspace affiliation. You have control over which data fields and records are visible to these external viewers, ensuring that any sensitive data remains hidden. Furthermore, if you decide to make changes to the visible fields or records within the view, the shared link will promptly reflect these adjustments, updating in real-time.
