Supported App Types

There are currently five app types available when creating apps for your database tables.

1. Chart – Generate charts from an SQL query
2. Data Administration – Data table with CRUD
3. Data App – Bundle apps into a single app
4. Data Table – Read-only data table
5. Registration Form – Insert-only form

Chart #

Charts are generated from valid SQL queries rather than a table. To learn more, please see: Chart Builder

Data Administration #

The Data Administration app type supports CRUD transactions. This is the type you need if you want to add, edit, and delete entries to your table. This type still opens to a table view when building the app with additional Row Action buttons.

Data App #

A Data App is an app container that lets you bundle a group of apps into a single app. The app container automatically gets a menu containing menu items for all apps. You can see a data app demo here: Classic Models

Data Table #

The Data Table app type is mainly used if you want your table to be read-only. A Data Table will open to a table view when building the app.

Registration Form #

A Registration Form is mainly used to insert data directly into a table. When you create a form app, there is no table view and you’ll be directly taken to the Form Builder. You can read more here: Form Builder
