Form view

Updated 2026-09-04 · 1 min read · For desktop macOS 0.0.9 / Windows 0.0.7

Turn a table into an entry form — inputs generated from the columns, required fields, a confirmation after submitting. Use it for repeated entry yourself, put it on a dashboard for other people, or publish it as a public link on the team edition.


Creating one

+ View → Form. Inputs are generated from the table's columns: text columns get a text box, single-select gets a dropdown, dates get a calendar, checkboxes get a tick — so get the field types right first and the form is right. Formula columns do not appear in the form; they compute after submission.

Configuring it

In edit mode, under Form Configuration:

  • Which columns appear, and in what order.
  • Whether each one is Required.
  • The Submit Result message, and Display following fields — show the row that was just submitted back to whoever filled it in.

Where submissions go

Each submission becomes a row at the top of the table, exactly as Add Row would. On a table with a unique index, a submission carrying an existing index value updates that row instead of adding one — which makes a form a neat "update the status" entry point.

Three ways people use it

  1. Entry for yourself. Faster than typing cell by cell, especially on a wide table.
  2. On a dashboard. Add a form component, pair it with the action that shows submitted data, and you have a small entry page.
  3. Sent to other people (team edition). Share publicly in dashboard sharing — anyone with the link can submit, no account needed. See Team · Sharing and publishing. The desktop app has no server facing the outside world, so this path exists only on the team edition.
