How do you stop following an entire table and start tracking only specific records?

In Jestor, to stop following every record in a table, just turn off the "follow table updates" option in the table's own menu. That clears the mass-following, and from there you can follow only the records that actually matter, one by one.

When mass-following turns into noise

Teams that track processes like recruiting, tickets, or sales often turn on table-following to avoid missing anything — but after a while the notification inbox turns into noise, full of updates on records that are no longer relevant.

The problem is that, while table-following is active, you can't turn off notifications for one specific record in isolation: it's all or nothing.

How to go back to tracking only what matters

Open the table and turn off "follow table updates."
That table's follow history is automatically cleared.
Go into the specific records that need tracking.
Turn on individual follow on each of them.
Repeat whenever a new relevant record comes up.

Tracking mode	What it notifies	How to turn on/off
Follow the entire table	Any change made by someone else, on any record	A single toggle on the table
Follow by record	Only changes to the specific record you selected	Turned on individually, record by record

Why choose Jestor?

Jestor doesn't require any automation for this kind of tracking — table and record follow works natively, without depending on manually configured triggers, which makes it easy to adjust the level of monitoring as the process evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does table-following notify me of my own changes? No, the system only notifies you of changes made by other people, never the ones the user made themselves.

Can I turn table-following back on after disabling it? Yes, you can turn tracking for all records back on at any time.

Do I need automation to enable these notifications? No, the feature already works natively on the table, with no automation setup required.
