How to stop following an entire table and start tracking only specific records
To stop following the entire table, turn off the "follow table updates" option — this clears the general tracking. Then manually add only the specific records you want to keep following.
Why switch from general to specific tracking?
Following an entire table generates notifications for any change made by other people, which can create excess alerts on very active tables. At some point, it may make more sense to track only the records that are actually relevant to your work, instead of the table's whole volume.
This change keeps your notification inbox from filling up with updates that don't directly matter, keeping the focus on what counts.
How to make the switch
- Go to the table that's currently being followed entirely.
- Turn off the "follow table updates" option.
- The system clears the general tracking for that table.
- Individually open each record you want to track and turn on follow just for it.
| Tracking mode | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Entire table | Monitoring a process end to end |
| Specific records | Tracking only what's relevant |
