I’m looking at building an interface to streamline inputting some information but before I think about redesigning my current database I just want to check if it’s possible to create an interface that would allow information to be updated across multiple tables?

Even more complicated, would it be possible for the interface to react live to automations? 

To try to give a bit of context 

I want to have a contract table where the top line contract information is kept - as part of this an automation creates different versions of a product linked to that contract in an editions table…

Could an interface handle me entering the contract detail and then have the editions appear ready to be edited?

How does this look?  I’ve set it up here for you to check out

 

We’re using a Record Review layout that lets us see the linked Products and Editions as views.  The ‘Create Editions’ button triggers an automation that creates one record in Edition per Product that’s linked to the Product, and here’s the end result of that gif:

Thanks for this - from that same interface would I then be able to click in and edit the details for each edition or would that require a new interface?

We’d do it within the same Interface, would just need to add a record detail to it and it’d look like this:

And you can find this update in the example base!

Thanks so much - when you started building this what did you choose from the interface menu? Sorry - I’m VERY new to interfaces.
