With Formaloo apps, you can mix and match forms, links, charts, tables, and many more view types. This allows you to connect your data tables in a single app.
To create an app, click New Formaloo and choose one of the templates to start with (you can always edit the templates and create your own app).
Once you're in the app, you can rename or delete a page, or you can modify the page and delete the form to add any other block.
Click on Add New to Create a menu to divide the app's pages or add a new page to start from scratch.
Add a data block page to your app
Click on Page to start a new page on this app and start from scratch. Then click on the + sign or type / to open the command list.
Choose any of the Blocks and connect them to your base.
The base is the form that you created and can be used in different modes. Search the form title or create one from scratch.
For example, you can show the data in a Table view. Or show its charts or advanced charts. Or show it on a board (Kanban or Gallery).
The Table shows the data submitted on the form. To connect to the base, search the title of your form or choose from the list.
The Kanban and Gallery view is more advanced since you must specify which fields you want to show on the board's cards and which field you want your Kanban to be grouped by.
