Single source (table) created, but updated from different places.
Asked by B-S:

Admin has created a single table with all employee data. I want Bob to see and update only (edit rows/records in single table) people on his team on Bobs team page. I want Betty to see and update (edit rows/records in single table) people on her team on Betty team page. HOW CAN I DO THIS?

I have already tried excerpt and include excerpt but they can't edit a excerpt include page on each of their pages.

Suggestions please.

Please [look here](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2020/10/how-to-create-reports-from-multiple-confluence-tables/) for an example of a similar use case.

Let me restate what I want to do, one table that can be updated in 3 places.

Create a Master Table on a confluence page called "Master Table Page" (MTP).

Put the master table on another page called "Update Page" in a section Called View #1 on that page. Filter the view to see only GREEN (filtered items) from the Master Table in that view. Have a person edit the View #1 data on the Update Page and that would also automatically update the Master Table on the MTP page.

Also

Have the master table in another section Called View #2 on that Update Page. Filter the view to see only RED (filtered items) from the Master Table in that view. Have a person edit the View #2 data on the Update Page and that would also automatically update the Master Table on the MTP page.

Here is the tricky part; If a person changed an item from Green to RED it would not show up in View #1 any more but show up in View #2 now because of the filter.

Basically I want a Single table the has all items, and i want that table to be updated in 3 different places, Master table itself, View #1 and View #2, is this possible.

Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include does not allow for all 3 places to be edited.

Any other suggestions?

body: One more thing, it is more about the ability to update the table in 3 places then creating multiple reports. Having the option to click the pencil and edit the data in the different views and if the filter flag is changed the data show up in the other view as well as being changed in the master table. I realize i may be asking something that can be done if that is the case then ok.

body: Now I see that you want a different case - your master tables should "mirror" each other and every update made from any of the tables should be reflected in every other table.

As for now, I can't come up with a suitable solution. Maybe you should try to browse the Marketplace - I've came across different solutions similar to our Excerpts, so can't give you any links myself.

One option is to look into the page properties macro <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-macro/> and the page properties report macro.

The page properties macro allows each employee to add information in their page, and the page properties report macro allows you to aggregate this information.

Is this possible, see the full details in my reply to Katrina if possible.
