If you copy bases into which shared data records are integrated or restore them , the connection to the shared data records is lost. Although the data is then available in a normal table, it can no longer be synchronized. You can therefore reimport shared data records back into existing tables and thus enable synchronization with the data there.

Reimport common dataset

  1. Open a base and select the tab of the table into which you want to reimport a shared data record.
  2. Click on the triangular drop-down icon to the right of the table name.
  3. Select the Link to shared data set option.
  4. Select the shared data record to which you want to link the table.
  5. Confirm with Link.

You can tell that the table is linked to the shared data record again by the stack symbol in the table tab.

  • Entries that are contained in the table but not in the shared data record are deleted from the table.
  • Entries that are contained in both the table and the shared data record are overwritten in the table if changes have been made since the last synchronization.
  • Entries that are not contained in the table but are contained in the shared data record are added to the table.
  • Entries in added columns that are contained in the table but not in the shared data record remain unchanged.
