What a completion record looks like

Every learner gets one when they finish. This is a sample.

Load a comma-separated export into a new table and check that everything arrived · Read the type Airtable gave each field and change it to what the data actually is · Find the rows an export brought in that are not records — a closing note, an order recorded twice — by counting rather than by reading · Bring a column to one spelling per thing, and hold it there with a field type that only accepts the list · Model a second table and link it to the first, and prove from the record counts that every name matched · Get a total and a count per record without writing anything · Save a view for a particular reader and share it as a link, knowing exactly who can open it

What was built

An Airtable base holding an orders table and a clients table, joined by a link you made, carrying a per-client order count and two per-client rollups you can each explain, with the export's junk rows and repeated order gone, one spelling for every product and every channel, and a saved view shared by link — the link being the thing your completion record points at.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Session 2Make the fields what the data actually is11 October 2026
Session 3The rows that should not be there18 October 2026
Session 4One spelling for every thing25 October 2026
Session 5A second table, and the link between them1 November 2026
Session 6Totals per firm, and a link a colleague can open8 November 2026

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.

The record is a description of work you did, not a claim about you. Anyone who opens it can see the work for themselves. It stays private until you publish it, and you can unpublish it at any time.

The name, the course, the date, the skills and the link to the dashboard: that is the whole of it. Nothing on it is about you that you didn’t do.
