Welcome to SeaTable
Whether you want to organise data or map a new business process, SeaTable will help you. Learn the basics now to work faster and easier in a team on your tasks, projects or ideas.
Start with a base
A base in SeaTable organises all information about a topic, task or process.
You can use a base for the following, for example:
- Plan a project
- Search for new employees
- Monitor a marketing campaign
- Manage the licences in your company
Structure your first table
When you open a Base, you see one or more tables. Before you can enter data, you have to add more table columns.
For example, a project plan needs the following columns:
- Single selection for the status
- Date for the due date
- Employees for the person in charge
Add first project tasks
All projects consist of many small steps. Add all the tasks that come to mind.
Tasks that are successfully completed are usually:
- clearly described
- subject to a time limit
- known to the person responsible
Link your tables
One of SeaTable's greatest strengths is its ability to relate tables to each other. Try it out right away.
Meaningful links between tables:
- Milestones for a project
- Employees of a company
- Invoices from a customer
- Students to classes
Create a new view
Display only the tasks that have been assigned to you and group them according to your projects. You can save this view as a view.
A view saves the following settings:
- Filter
- Sorting
- Grouping
- Hidden columns
- Colourings
- Column height
Activate a plugin
In many situations, another form of presentation can be helpful. Activate the Kanban plugin.
SeaTable knows these and other plugins:
- Calendar
- Gallery
- Timeline
- World map
- Kanban
Share your tables, views or bases
With an external link, another person can take a look at your data. They do not need a SeaTable account.
The external link offers the following setting options:
- Expiry date
- Password request
- Random or self-selected URL
