Importing Linked Data

Jargen

Hi,

How would i go about importing linked data? I have three spreadsheets to import, First with a list of organisations, then a list of companies under those organisations, and then with a list of members in the companies. But i need that link to still exist, so you can go in the organisation table, then click on a organisation and see the companies under it, then click on a company to see the members

Also is it possible to make the column clickable? So you can go to another dataset

You can pretty much do whatever you want. One option is to use Chile row details. Another is to group the data using the RowGroup extension.

Also is it possible to make the column clickable?

Yes, use delegated events like this example. Adjust the selector to target a specific td.

The specifics of how to implement is specific to the data structures you will have for combining the spreadsheets and exactly how you want them displayed.

Hi @Jargen,

At the moment, I'm afraid CloudTables does not yet have the ability to import linked data. It would require a manual (or API script) process to go through the data after the import and link it up as needed. How much data are you working with - I might be able to help with the linking script?

Longer term, I do plan to fully support importing linked data in CloudTables, but it is likely a little way off with other things currently being worked on.
