Aggregated date fields - centralise and simplify date insights
Effortlessly track important timelines across your Kinabase collections with our new Aggregated Date Field feature. This enhancement empowers you to consolidate key dates - like the latest or earliest dates - from related collections into one centralised location. No more manual checks or scattered records - just streamlined, real-time visibility at your fingertips.
What’s New?
- Centralised Tracking: Display the earliest or latest dates from linked collections directly within the collection you're working in.
- Automated Updates: Keep timeline data accurate and up-to-date across collections with automatic syncing.
- Streamlined Workflow: View critical date insights quickly and in context, without jumping between records.
Why It Matters:
This feature is designed to simplify how your manage timelines across projects and teams by:
- Saving Time: Quickly access dates like recent deliveries or upcoming deadlines in one place.
- Improving Accuracy: Reduce manual errors with automated date aggregation across your linked collections.
- Enhancing Productivity: Spend less time searching for information and more time focusing on priorities.
How It Works:
- Open a collection already linked to another (e.g., deliverables linked to a project).
Need help? Explore our guide on linking collections by field. - Go to the Options Menu (...) and select Configure.
- Under Field Settings, click +Add Field.
- Search for and select Date Aggregation.
- Configure your preferences: Choose the target linked collection, select the relevant date field (e.g., "Created At" or "Updated At"), and set the mode (earliest/latest).
- Save your changes, and the new field will instantly display the aggregated date.
Real-World Impact:
Aggregated Date Fields are ideal for tracking project timelines, delivery dates, or any other critical milestones. For example:
- Project Managers: Quickly see the latest delivery dates across multiple records linked to a single project.
- Operations Teams: Track earliest due dates for shipments, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
With this intuitive enhancement, Kinabase makes data management not only smarter but also easier, keeping you informed and efficient.
