Adding and naming fields

A table consists of several fields, each of which holds information of the same type

We will now create a form with various fields in which we want to enter our data.

A form is another way of presenting a table. It is clearer to enter data in a form. Both are possible with Ninox, of course!

Preparation

For our example, we need the following fields:

Field type

Field name

Explanation

Title

This is where we will later enter the name of an event.

Date

Event date

Participants

Number of participants

Venue

Here we will store various venues, from which you can then choose the one you need in each case.

Agenda

The agenda for the respective event is stored here.

More information on the individual Field types

Procedure

Here you can watch us do it. Watch and copy!

Result

After you have dragged the corresponding fields from the right column to the center in the table settings, it should look like this.

Everything OK? Then we’ll move on...

Like to delve deeper into the topic? Here’s the appropriate section in our video tutorial.

Adding a table

We will create a new table in a database

Now we will continue working with the Event Management database that we’ve just created.

Tables

We will now create an Events tabIe in this Event Management database. There we will store information for each new event, such as the agenda, venue, participants, etc.

A table consists of rows and columns. Information of the same type is stored in a column. For example, the number of participants for an event is always stored in the Participants column.

Each table in a database is assigned a name, ideally so that you know straight away as to which information is held in this database.

Reminder: Table structure

Here are the most important terms again.

Creating and naming a table

Open your new Event Management database.

How to do it

Then click on New table in the next screen.
The table settings open.
Enter a name for your table under Table name. Since this table will hold data about events, we will name it Events (this is a bit shorter).

You don’t need to save it yet, as we are about to continue working in the table settings.
