Why can't I see my Awesome Table view?

There will be instances when you won't be able to access your Awesome Table view or can't log in using your Google account. We'll explain the various reasons why this thing happens and provide the appropriate solution.

1 - Use the prescribed Google Sheets sharing settings

The display of an Awesome Table view depends on the read access permission to the spreadsheet used as source.

To change the sharing settings of your spreadsheet, simply click the "SHARE" button in your spreadsheet:

Option 1: Simple share

You have several options to share your spreadsheet.

Add people by their names or their email addresses
Choose the sharing mode (edit, comment, view)
Get a shareable link

Option 2: Advanced share

Or you can choose another way to share with the advanced settings.

This allows you to access the information to find out who has access to the view and change the sharing access.

You have several possibilities to share your spreadsheet (1) and select a sharing mode (2).

Sharing Mode	Description
On - Public on the web	This option will make your view publicly accessible to everyone. This is not recommended because there's a chance that your Google Sheets datasource will be indexed by Google Search.
On - Anyone with the link	This is the ideal and recommended option since it makes your view accessible only those who have access to your link can see your view. This also won't require your viewers (intended audience) to sign in to Google to access your view.
On - G Suite Domain	This option will require authentication. We advise informing your IT personnel to install the Awesome Table app via the G Suite Marketplace. So it won't constantly ask everyone within your domain to log in using their G Suite credentials. This is not recommended because there's a chance that your Google Sheets datasource will be indexed by Google Search of the Google Drive.
On - Anyone at G Suite Domain	This option will require authentication. We advise informing your IT personnel to install the Awesome Table app via the G Suite Marketplace. So it won't constantly ask everyone within your domain to log in using their G Suite credentials. This is the recommended method.

No access to the view

An Awesome Table view requiring you to log in if the spreadsheet is not shared with "Anyone with the link".

This message will appear when your Google Sheets datasource's sharing settings is set to Off - Specific people (only shared to specific people and/or people within your G Suite domain).

To remedy this, the listed people should have at least a Can view access rights to see your view.

info If the spreadsheet is shared with “Anyone with the link” of your G Suite domain, we recommend G Suite admins to install Awesome Table via the marketplace to avoid authorizations pop-ups when people want to see a view.

2 - Verify that you're using the correct Google account

If you have more than 1 account open, it's likely that your Awesome Table profile is referencing the wrong account. To remedy this, check the logged in Google account is the correct profile you're using for Awesome Table.

3 - Reset Awesome Table settings

If changing your Google Sheets sharing settings and making sure that you're using the correct Google account did not resolve accessing your Awesome Table view, our last resort is to reset or revoke Awesome Table's permissions to your Google account.

info This won't lose your Awesome Table views and your data.

Then, click Manage third-party access.

Select Awesome Table then press the REMOVE ACCESS button.

Lastly, refresh the relevant Awesome Table view you're having trouble accessing, and click the ALLOW button to accept the minimum-required permissions to use the Awesome Table web app. This final step will resolve your log in issues once and for all.
