Records List

Let's take a closer look at the records in the collections:

1. Each row is a separate record. You can display part of its content on the collection screen through Visibility.
2. Clicking on the record name opens the editing mode (see Editor page), where we can see all the contents of the record and make the necessary changes.
3. Clicking on the grip icon opens a context menu, through which you can duplicate or delete the record. When duplicating a record, it is duplicated with (+1) in the name field.

Record structure

The record line consists of two parts:

1. Record Name (Name) This field is created by default when creating a collection (see Constructor)
2. Additional Fields By default, the first 8 available fields are displayed for collections. You can independently configure their display and order in the Visibility.

Creating a New Record

When you click the Add button, it switches to editing mode, where you can write the content of the new record (read more in Editor page).

Searching record

In collections, you can search for a needed record by name (Name field).

1. To do this, click on the magnifying glass icon

   

2. Write the needed word in the opened input

   

3. Search results are displayed as you type.

   

4. If there are no matches for the search, we see the following message. To reset and close the search, click on x.

   

Pagination

Pagination is displayed when there is at least one record in the collection. By default, 20 records can be displayed on one page. This value can be changed through the Show input. It should not be more than 200. If you specify the value 300, the value in the input will change to 200.

When the page is refreshed, the pagination resets back to 20.

Scrolling

If the number of records does not fit on the screen, a scroll bar appears on the right and the record list starts to scroll vertically in the designated area.

API Endpoints

When you click the API button, a modal opens with all available endpoints

Edge Cases

Tooltips

Field types like Rich text, Image, Boolean, and AG-Condition do not have text names, but have icons. However, when hovering over column headers, the field name is displayed as a tooltip.

The same applies to the headers of standard fields that did not fit into the column. When hovering, the full name is displayed through the tooltip.

Empty Collection

When opening an empty collection, a placeholder appears. After adding the very first record, this message disappears.
