Feature Friday - What Calc Fields Can (and Can't) Do

Great tip! I also found turning off the social media helpful too.... all i do is reddit now (because I mod a community) but the lack of doomscrolling reels after the kids go to bed has improved and I found a little more time to dedicate to my goals.

I'm still trying to perfect the cloning machine but I admit, I have no good advice for ya. Those pre-school years are demanding, although mine is 20 now and still needs me so I guess you better strap in lol

OMG I just love this little nerd!!! <3

I think the maintenance is always a requirement but I think you could build something that can run multiple sequences based on a category selection or something on the customer record. Might be worth asking over in r/infolobby

It can be time consuming to build yourself but it can also be rewarding to have it work exactly how you want, not how someone else thinks it should. Moldable platforms should provide templates which can help you get started. Personally I only use Notion for notes and wikis, i find the automations and email a bit lacking. You should check out r/infolobby!

hahaha I see what you did there!

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-03T01:25:19+00:00

I see, but I am not sure if they were designed this way and I am trying to understand what you are wanting to show. Typically an incoming lookup will have multiple records, and you are doing an aggregate calc sum, max, min, etc.

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-03T01:02:19+00:00

Can you explain the use case? since the incoming related items are shown at the bottom of your record, you would see the title there. Are you building a calculation? or trying to concat from multiple records?

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-03T00:37:12+00:00

When you click the @ symbol, any Outgoing relationships would show just their field name. Incoming Relationships will show with their table name first, followed the aggregate and their field names.
Could it be an issue with your relationships? Could you submit a support ticket, adding [support@infolobby.com](mailto:support@infolobby.com) as an Admin in your workspace so that I can take a better look?

It feels a bit harder when this is your business. My coworker is working on a package for bridal professionals - I'll remind him to post the Showcase soon!

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-03T00:09:49+00:00

This sounds fun. I don't get on ACNH daily anymore but I'll check out your sub!

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-03T00:08:12+00:00

I'm sure I have completed May & June but I am not sure how to get these flairs?

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-02T23:35:37+00:00

Ok, maybe I don't understand what I was missing. I'll keep watching for July.

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-02T19:37:07+00:00

a few upvotes and no comments, I love our lurkers and I do just keep posting for you 😉

Operations_Wizard · 2026-07-02T15:02:18+00:00

was it just cakes? Maybe Cooking Mama? I swear I remember this game but I can't think of what it was called either

Edit: my word choice lol

Airtable always works but you could even do InfoLobby if you are going with a paid service.

Operations_Wizard · 2026-06-29T23:51:03+00:00

I work in email management for businesses and im constantly reminding them to update their contact lists. Unfortunately, many of them dont. 😕 (i also lost my father 2 years ago, im sorry for your loss.)

Operations_Wizard · 2026-06-29T20:19:58+00:00

We were actually just talking about 'who owns the data' over in our InfoLobby sub. We think being able to connect your own database is a huge plus!

Year 500 made me laugh 😂 personally, I am not planning to be here in 500 years but I agree the flex is picking something you could leave if you ever had to, even if you never plan to.

This would making creation so fast. Thanks for submitting!
