# Table Data

Ondeva's **Table Data** interface lets you view, create, edit, and manage the actual records that live in your app’s backend — directly inside your browser. It’s a fast, developer-friendly interface designed for real-world teams building products, internal tools, or complex workflows.

Whether you’re running a CRM, building a marketplace, collecting form submissions, or managing operational datasets, this view gives you full control over your live application data — no SQL required.

From this screen, you can:

* Create and update entries inline
* Upload files or toggle values instantly
* Export everything to CSV
* Navigate large datasets with pagination
* Inspect every field type, exactly as it behaves in production

### Accessing the Data View

1. Open the **Data** section from the left sidebar.
2. Select a table.
3. Switch to the **Data** tab at the top of the screen.

The interface displays your data in a spreadsheet-style view — every row is an entry, and every column reflects a field from your table schema.

### Working with Entries

#### Editing a Row

Click any row to open its full details in the right-side editor. You’ll see all fields (columns), editable based on their data type.

Common editing behaviors:

* **Text / Number**: Type directly
* **Date**: Select from a date picker
* **Checkbox**: Toggle with one click
* **Dropdown / Multi-Select**: Choose from options
* **File**: Upload or replace files inline
* **Rich Text**: Edit via a rich input (viewed as plain text here)

Changes are automatically saved.

***

#### Creating a New Entry

Click the **“Add Entry”** button to open a blank record. Fill in fields — any default values (if configured) will be pre-filled — and your changes are saved as you go.

***

#### Deleting Entries

* Select any row
* Click the trash icon
* Confirm deletion in the dialog

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Note**: Deletes are permanent. For reversible workflows, consider adding a “status” or “archived” field instead.
{% endhint %}

### Pagination

Ondeva automatically paginates tables to maintain performance. Each page shows **20 entries** by default. Use the navigation controls at the bottom to move through your dataset.

***

### CSV Export

Click the **“Export to CSV”** button to download the full table contents in `.csv` format.

The export includes:

* Every field (column)
* One row per entry
* Raw values, suitable for spreadsheets, databases, or analytics tools

### Bulk Data via Workflows

This is especially useful for:
