  • Row Context Menu - Right-click a row for actions: edit, duplicate, delete, copy link, view record.
  • Search - Use the search bar above the grid to filter rows (server-side search).
  • Bases - Tables can be grouped into bases (folders) for organisation.

Record Detail

Click a row to open the record detail view. This shows:

  • All field values in a grouped, editable panel.
  • Linked records from related tables (via LINK columns).
  • Activity timeline showing changes.
  • Associated files from the file registry.

Column Types

18 column types are supported:

  • LINK columns create relationships between tables (one-to-many).
