Designer

Define how your data is stored and represented​

Use the Designer app to define the data structure of your company database.

Use designs to specify the data attributes you want to record and store for each type of thing, such as an asset or task. Use interfaces to group related designs together and extend them with shared data attributes. Create items of designs to store specific sets of values for the design's attributes.

You can also customise how item data is displayed to users. Use item forms to control the visibility and order of data attributes when users create or edit items of a particular design/interface. Use item canvas views to provide tailored viewing experiences for different audiences and device types.

Note

The Designer app is primarily intended for admin users.

The app's start screen displays the types of features you can create and edit:

  • Designs - define a type of thing and its data attributes.

  • Interfaces - define a set of shared data attributes that designs can implement.

  • Item forms - customise the data fields shown when creating, editing or viewing items of a design/interface.

  • Item canvas - customise the data sections shown when viewing an item's details.

To return to this screen at any time, select Designer in the top-left corner.
