Before executing a bulk share, you can preview the bulk share to see how many records will be shared out as well as details about when the shared records were created. 

The bulk share preview page will display the following: 

  • The number of records that will be shared from the selected table.

  • If include attachments is selected, an estimate on the number of attachment records that will be shared. This will be the combined total of both sys_attachment and sys_attachment_doc records since both tables are required to re-construct attachments when replicating.

  • If include journal fields is selected, an estimate on the number of sys_journal_field records that will be shared.

  • If include audit log is selected, an estimate on the number of sys_audit records that will be shared.

  • A trend chart showing a monthly breakdown of when records were created in the selected table in the last 12 months.

  • If include all child tables is selected, the number of child records will be shared. 

(info) NOTE: Estimates are based on sampling the 50 latest records from the selected table and seeing how many entries are in the related table (i.e. sys_journal_field, sys_audit, etc.) to calculate an estimated total for all records.
