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
Open the Data section from the left sidebar.
Select a table.
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
Note: Deletes are permanent. For reversible workflows, consider adding a “status” or “archived” field instead.
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.

Click the “Export to CSV” button to download the full table contents in .csv format.
The export includes:
