SeaTable plugins give you the opportunity to see your data from a completely different perspective. Visualize appointments, tasks and locations and create laid-out documents and profiles from your data. In the following article, we explain which plugins are available in SeaTable and how you can use them.
What is a plugin?
In SeaTable you can create different views for your tables, where you can filter, sort, group and hide data as you wish.
A plugin is an optional software component in SeaTable that offers you additional display options. Various plugins can be activated in each base, which display the data of the respective tables and views in calendars, documents or galleries, for example. Read more about how to activate a plugin in the linked help article.
Calendar plugin
In the calendar plugin you can display dates from a date column in a year, month, week, day or agenda view. You can also use two date columns to display time spans and keep track of all important dates, etc.

Gallery plugin
The gallery plugin is particularly suitable for displaying records with images, as it primarily refers to the contents of an image column. Below the images, the entries of a column are displayed as titles. In addition, it is possible to show more columns of the table in this plugin and thus supplement the images with more information from the data sets. Especially for creative and artistic projects this is very helpful to summarize all information at a glance.

Locations can be displayed on a map with the map plugin. You can visualize the entered geographic information with position markers or images. The map plugin can handle GPS coordinates as well as addresses. However, addresses must be unique in order to be displayed.

Page design plugin
Using the Page Design plugin, you can layout documents such as form letters, business cards, and certificates and populate them with the data in your table. More precisely, you can build layouts with static elements that are completed and customized with dynamic elements and table fields. These offer you the great advantage of inserting all related information (for example, a person's name, address, and job title) into standardized templates, depending on the record, without the need to manually copy data into the documents. In this way, you can create print-ready invoices, certificates or other important documents from the stored data with just a few clicks.

The SQL query plugin is perfect for direct execution of SQL commands and is therefore especially interesting for database professionals who work with larger amounts of data.

The whiteboard plugin gives you the freedom to graphically visualize processes and structures that you cannot display with the previous plugins. You can also freely sketch layouts and mockups. For the design, you have various elements such as squares, ellipses and arrows as well as tools such as pen, eraser and the text tool to choose from.
