Tips for Success

Best practices for getting the most out of the Database app.

Design Your Schema First

Plan your fields before creating a database:

• What data do you need to track?
• Which fields should be required?
• What display formats make sense?

Use Meaningful Prefixes

Choose prefixes that are:

• Short (2-4 characters ideal)
• Memorable and recognizable
• Unique across your workspace

Leverage Nested Databases

Organize related data with hierarchy:

• Group similar databases under a parent
• Use inheritance for shared fields
• Keep the schema tree clean and navigable

Set Up Views for Your Team

Configure sensible defaults:

• Hide rarely-used columns
• Set useful default sorting
• Save as schema default for everyone
