Setting up Linked Records

Define linked records to enforce a specific set of values for an editable column. The cell editor will be a dropdown widget.

The options to be presented in the dropdown must be defined in a “linked dataset”. If this dataset doesn’t already exist, you can create it as an Editable dataset.

In the Visual Webapp settings, one of the editable columns should correspond to the primary key of the linked dataset.

See here for more information on the editing experience.

Example

Given a dataset named PRODUCTS containing a list of products and another dataset named COMPANIES containing a list of companies, we want users of the web app to link products to a specific company.

Original dataset

product_name company_name
DSS  

Dataset with linked records

company_name industry
dataiku tech

The configuration could look like this:

resulting in the following edited dataset one DSS is linked to dataiku.

Original dataset edited (after building the flow)
