[VIDEO] Sync to Spreadsheets with the Layer API
The word "spreadsheet" elicits a mixed reaction from many people in the AEC space. Spreadsheets are the root of alot of pain. They can also be an invaluable tool when passing information between organizations or internal teams where our software tools can't talk to eachother.
The problem is, spreadsheets tend to contain dead data. They were created at a set moment in time from an export function or copy & pasting data. As data in your source of truth changes, the spreadsheet does not.
That means that person you are collaborating with is working on outdated information. It may even be outdated by the time that you've emailed it to the them.
Live data is always better. While Layer offers direct Shared Views, sometimes you still need the spreadsheet. If you're already asking how, I invite you to join me for Layer Quick Bytes this week! I'll show you how to create a living spreadsheet that is updated by the Layer API.

How to use barcodes to track Anything!
The technician at your facility has access to lots of vital on the ground information. They know that piece of equipment is on its last legs and needs to be treated carefully.
But they don’t always have access to the information they need. For instance, what if that piece of equipment has a recall, but that information is sitting in a manager’s email somewhere else?
These missed connections cause inefficiencies that don’t need to exist. This week on Layer Quick Bytes, Zach Soflin, AIA will show you how to create a barcode connection at your site that you can link directly to your model.
You can use this to track anything 💺 🖥 🛌 🚓 🏗 🕤 in Layer. All linked directly to your Building Data.
