Manage Tables

Tables help you store reference data in a tabular format within  Qntrl . You can store data vital to support your business processes here. Also, the data in tables can be listed in cards using Table Lookup .
 
For example, Zylker-- a manufacturing company, buys required materials from vendors to manufacture cement. Zylker stores the contact numbers and other referential data of the vendors they frequently deal with in external sheets. This information can be digitized and saved in  Qntrl 's tables for ease of updates and central access.

How to use table data in cards - Table Lookup 

Qntrl ’s tables store and organize data in an easy-to-interpret tabular format. Table lookup fetches data from a table’s column and populates it in a dropdown or multi select field for the end-user.
 
For example, if you have a table to store your employee details, each column will contain details like employee ID, employee name, age, salary, and other information. If you want to fetch a list of all your employee names, you can use table lookup and get all the entire column details.
  1. Navigate to  and select Orchestration  from the menu.
  2. Move to Create Form .  
  3. Drag and drop Table Lookup from the New Fields tray onto the right panel.  
  4. Enter a Field Title. This field is mandatory and must be unique in each form.  
  5. Click Set field label hyperlink to add field label.  
    1. The field is displayed with the label name in the form.
  6. Configure the lookup details:
    1. Table: Select a table.
    2. Column: Choose a column from the table to lookup data.
    3. Display Type: You can choose to display lookup values in either a dropdown or multi select field format.
      1. On choosing dropdown, each option will be trimmed to display only 200 characters.
  7. Set the field-level validations:  
    1. Mandatory: Toggle YES to make the field mandatory.
    2. Visibility: Toggle YES to make the field visible while creating cards.


Only five lookup and relation fields can be created.
