Hi all, I’m building a scheduling app for private teachers. Each teacher creates their classes in a Classes table (with row owners) and adds timeslots in a Class Schedule table (also with row owners). A common request: Teachers want to see each other’s weekly schedules so they can avoid clashes and coordinate better. What’s the best way to implement this? I imagine the setup might be similar to public profiles, but: - How can a teacher share their schedule only with specific people (e.g. other teachers they collaborate with)? - And what’s the best way to display these shared schedules, e.g. calendar view, table? Thanks a lot in advance! ---

Hey Christo To enable teachers to share their schedules with specific collaborators, create a **“Collaborators” table** with columns: `Teacher` and `Collaborator (Email)`, and set `Collaborator` as a **row owner**. Relate this to the `Class Schedule` table using the teacher’s email. This allows each teacher to see their own schedule + plus any shared with them. Use a **Calendar view** for a clear weekly layout, or a Table view for a compact list. Let teachers add or remove collaborators using a form or an editable list to manage sharing. Hope this helps! ---

Hey Mazen, Thank you for your reply. I’m not sure how what you suggested would work. For example, if the “Class Schedule” tables looks like this: | Teacher Email (Row Owner) | Day | Start Time | End Time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [x@x.com](mailto:x@x.com) | Monday | 15:00 | 16:00 | | [x@x.com](mailto:x@x.com) | Tuesday | 15:00 | 16:00 | | [y@y.com](mailto:y@y.com) | Monday | 17:00 | 18:00 | | [y@y.com](mailto:y@y.com) | Tuesday | 17:00 | 18:00 | And the new tables “Collaborators” looks like this: | Teacher Email | Collaborator Email (Row Owner) | Class Schedule Relation on Teacher Email | | --- | --- | --- | | [x@x.com](mailto:x@x.com) | [y@y.com](mailto:y@y.com) | Empty | The relation will return an empty result since the “Class Schedule” table has row owner on the teacher email. What am I missing? Did I understand something wrong? ---

Are row owners absolutely necessary to securely protect data, or are you simply using row owners as a filter? For something like this, I would think maybe row owners aren’t necessary, but I don’t know for your situation. I would think a filter would be sufficient. Unless you are using row owners to reduce the amount of data that is downloaded to a user’s device. ---

Hey Jeff, Thank you for your reply. I was using row owners for filtering but after removing them the relationship works! Pretty straight forward answer but it helped 🙂 ---
