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

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.

    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.
