Databases

Learn how to use Pivot’s database blocks to organize, store, and manage information effectively, enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows.

Databases are versatile tools designed to organize, store, and manage information effectively. They allow you to track tasks, manage project data, and organize resources, offering a customizable framework to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

Table View

The table view within Pivot’s database block is a structured and intuitive way to organize and display data. By arranging information into rows and columns, it provides clarity, flexibility, and ease of use, making it ideal for tracking, categorizing, and collaborating on projects or data sets.

Features of the Table View

  • Customizable columns:
    Add, rename, or adjust column types (e.g., text, date, person, checkbox) to suit your data.
  • Interactive rows:
    Add, edit, or delete rows to dynamically manage your entries.
  • Filtering and sorting:
    Use built-in tools to filter or sort your data for quick access to relevant information.
  • Collaboration-Friendly:
    Assign tasks or roles to specific users with the Person column and track completion with checkboxes.
