User Interface
Ondeva’s Custom Tables area is split into two functional tabs — Structure and Data — both accessible from within the Data section of the platform. The UI is designed to help you move fluidly between modeling data and interacting with live entries.
This overview breaks down how the user interface works specifically when working with a table in Ondeva.
Navigating to Custom Tables
To access your custom tables:
Click the Data icon in the left-hand navigation.
Select a table from the list — or create a new one.
Once selected, the table editor opens with two tabs:
Structure
Data
Structure Tab UI
The Structure tab is where you define the schema (fields/columns) of your table.
Layout
Center panel: Displays the list of fields currently in the table (columns). Each field shows:
Field label
Data type
Identifying column indicator (if applicable)
Top bar: Shows the current table name. Click it to rename the table inline.
Right-hand panel: When a field is selected, this panel displays field-specific settings:
Field name
Data type
Validation rules
Default values
Required toggle
Custom logic (varies by field type)
Floating actions:
Add Field: Button at the bottom of the field list
Delete Field: Trash icon appears when hovering over a field
Empty canvas click: Clicking in an empty space reveals Table Settings.
Data Tab UI
The Data tab lets you view and manipulate actual entries (rows) inside the table.
Layout
Top bar:
Add Entry button
Export to CSV button
Center panel (Table View):
Spreadsheet-style table with one row per entry
Each column matches a field from your structure
Checkboxes to select rows for deletion
Right-hand panel (Entry Editor): When a row is selected:
Shows all fields and values for that row
Supports inline editing per field type
Autosaves all changes instantly
Pagination Navigation: Shown at the bottom once entries exceed 20 rows. Navigate pages to view more data.
UI Behaviors Worth Noting
Autosave: Changes in both Structure and Data tabs are saved instantly — there’s no Save button.
Validation Feedback: Required fields and invalid entries are flagged in real time in both field settings and data entry.
Drag & Drop Support (Structure Tab):
Reorder fields by dragging them in the list.
The order is reflected in Data view and UI components.
Persistent Context: Switching between tabs (Structure ↔ Data) retains your selected table and open row/field.
Summary
Ondeva’s custom table UI is optimized for live, real-world development:
Two powerful tabs (Structure + Data)
Clear side-by-side editing
No-code field config with real-time validation
Whether you're defining schemas or running operations, the interface keeps you focused and fast.
