GRIDFOX
Creating Tables
Tables are used to define the data that you would like to store in your Projects. Tables are made up of Fields and Records.
New Tables can be created at any time. Once a Table has been created, you can then add new Fields to it, where Fields define what information you want to store about Records in the Tables. You can also build Views for the Table.
Users in the Project can then add Records to these Tables. Once you have created a Table it can be amended by renaming it, or adding and changing the Fields on the Table.
Tables can be created in Gridfox using either the View Editor or the Explorer. Both methods are described below.
Creating a Table using the View Editor
TIP
The View Editor allows you to make quick changes to your Project configuration and your View layouts.
- Open the Create menu in the bottom left hand corner of your screen
- Select Table (Grid)
-
Enter a name for the Table and click the next arrow
The singular and plural names for the Table will auto-populate based on what you enter at this step
- Add Fields to your new Table
- Click Save in the bottom right hand corner
If you haven’t specified one of the Fields in the Table to be the Reference Field then saving the new Table will prompt you to do this.
Creating a Table using the Explorer
TIP
The Explorer allows you to see and manage all the Tables in your Project.
- Select the Explorer tab in the top right hand corner of your Project
- Click Add Table
-
Enter a name for the Table and click the next arrow
The singular and plural names for the Table will auto-populate based on what you enter at this step
- Add Fields to your new Table
- Click Save in the top right hand corner
If you haven’t specified one of the Fields in the Table to be the Reference Field then saving the new Table will prompt you to do this.
