Developer Community Newsletter April 2025: Cross-company data

Great to see that we can now access cross company data.

How can we activate the company links tab? In the notes it states the following: note that the cross company tab is only displayed for personal files, or for company files once at least one company link has been defined in the template - see below on how to define a link. But I don’t really find the info in those notes.

Hi @JelleBe

You’ll need to write the liquid code to select a company first, you can find the syntax here: Input
One you have that available in a template, and a user has selected a company in that template in a file, then that file will have the company links tab.
It’s deliberately not straightforward, as we want template authors to really think about where we can/should add data from other companies.
One of the main reasons is that this adds another dependency, which impacts performance and potentially could even lead to differences between real and cached results.
We also don’t want to expose it to users if it’s not available to use in the templates yet, as it will undoubtedly lead to a lot of questions and requests.

We’ll add a use case to the Community later on, but we need to work out a good use-case ourselves first :smiley:
