Managing Sheet View

The ability to view and update Bigin's data in a spreadsheet-like format is referred to as "Sheet View" in Bigin. This view provides a tabular view of records so that you can work with the data in a more comfortable and effective way.
                                        
In Bigin's Sheet View, tabular presentation of records is shown in a grid format, much like a spreadsheet. Each column represents a field or attribute of a record, and each row represents a single record. This design offers a clear and organized perspective on the data. You can choose which fields to display and how they should be arranged in the Sheet View. By configuring the view to suit their preferences, you can concentrate on the relevant data. Bigin's Sheet View also enables you to sort and filter data based on various criteria and thereby find and operate within certain records rapidly.
Additionally, there's another main functionality in Bigin's Sheet View: inline editing. The ability to edit records directly within the grid is one of the primary advantages of Bigin's Sheet View. You can edit field values by simply clicking on the relevant cell and entering the modified data. As a result, there's no longer any need to browse to individual record pages when altering data.

Bigin's Sheet View also provides the ability to import and export data. You can easily migrate or update records by importing data from external sources, such as CSV files, as well as export data from the Sheet View into several file formats for sharing or additional analysis.
