Create a Connection

Define which records to match and where the result should go.

A Connection brings together two board selections, matching rules, and a primary output. Use a descriptive name so you can recognize its purpose later.

Set up a Connection

  1. Open LinkBackfill and choose Create a Connection.
  2. Select the Records to process board.
  3. Select the Match against board.
  4. Choose the values and rules that identify matching records.
  5. Select the Primary output, including its destination column.
  6. Review the configuration and save the Connection.

For example, a project record might contain a company reference that also exists on a Companies board. A Connection can use that reference to identify the related company.

Check before continuing

Confirm that the records to process and match-against selections are the right way round. Check that the output column is the one you intend to update.

Saving a configuration is not a substitute for checking its results. Continue with Scan & Preview before applying changes.
