With the single data record page type, you have the option of designing a page with static elements, dynamic table fields, colors, frames, etc. in order to visually prepare the data stored in a row . This page type is therefore similar to the page design plugin that you already know from Base.
Users of the app can view, search, browse or even edit the individual data records on this page - with the relevant authorization. This type of page is suitable, for example, for displaying the data in an employee database as personal profiles.
Page settings
If you want to change the settings of a page, click on the corresponding cogwheel symbol in the navigation bar.
In the page settings, you can select the table in which the individual data records are saved.
Static elements
Similar to individual pages, you can also add static elements to pages of the Single data record type, which are used to design the page and remain the same across all data records. These elements are
- Text
- Formatted text
- Horizontal line
- Image
- Container
- Map
For more detailed information on the setting options for these elements, please consult this help article.
Table fields
All columns in the table from which you can insert data into the page are listed as table fields. The content of the fields depends on the individual data records in the table and changes depending on the entry.
Just like the static elements, each table field also has its own element settings. First select whether you want to display the field name that serves as the heading of the entry. If so, you can set the exact alignment, font size, font weight and font color.
You can also define a background color and a frame for each table field.
Copy, move or delete elements
If you want to copy, move or delete an existing element on your page, simply use the three corresponding symbols in the top right-hand corner of the frame.
Preset filters and sorting
You can also define preset filters and sorting to limit and organize the data records that can be displayed for users. To filter or sort, click on Add filter or Add sorting, select the desired column and condition and confirm with Submit.
Users can only see the information for a single data record that you display via the integrated table fields.
Graphic settings of the page background
You can make the following graphical settings for the entire page of the Single data record type:
- Select white, grey or a user-defined color as the background color of the page.
- Set the page margins (top, bottom, left, right).
- Decide whether you want to hide the title bar.
- Decide whether you want to hide the toolbar that users can use to switch between entries.
Switch between the entries
If you have displayed the toolbar, app users with the corresponding page authorization can switch between the individual data records. To do this, click on Previous entry or Next entry . You can also search for a specific entry.
Page authorizations
You can define the following page authorizations for pages of the Single data record type:
Decide who can view and edit the individual data records. You cannot add or delete rows in the table via this page.
