Databases


Bill
 

I have tried and tried and tried, and cannot figure out how to add new databases.

As I go through the process, I never see where to enter the URL of the site you want to add to the column.

Can you provide a step by step process for adding a new database ?


 

The details for creating a database are in the Wiki - /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Databases

Thanks for that help.

I selected "Link" and it works fine

However, in Column 2, I selected "Image" but how to proceed past that eludes me.

Where do I input the image source ?

I see nothing that directs me to an image input or upload screen.


 

Bill,
I just scanned the WIKI instructions for Databases and nowhere did I find recommendation for saving your basic schema frequently as you progress.
You should save it in json format so that you have something to (re)start with if needed or to copy to start a new database.
I've also found it's a lot better to have a small sample of test information preset in a .csv file that can be easily and quickly imported for testing.? If it reflects what your DB should look like it will load correctly, else you have a problem.
If you have to make changes to your database it's best to keep your test file below 20 rows because you can only delete 20 rows at a time.? Easy in, easy out.

I've also found that there are different displays for free groups and prime/Enterprise groups.
If you have postal addresses in a field,?Free groups only see the database and get an automatic link below it that says (MAP) which takes you to Google Directions.??Prime and Enterprise groups see a Map with the list below it.

My words of wisdom are save, save, save!
BTW, the json file is utf-8 and will show little white plus signs inside black shapes in place of invalid characters.

That's only true if you have your account preference set for 20 lines per page or infinite scroll.? If you set it to 50 or 100 lines per page, you can delete that many at once.? There are still a few instances, such as a database, where infinite scroll doesn't behave as it should.

I'm not quite sure where you are, in Create Table or Add Row.

The image is not part of the table design, so you don't add the image while creating/editing the table design.

You add the image when adding each new row to the table - the image is a data value in each row.

I was set for infinite scroll but still had only 20 line view on DB
I then set to 100 lines, Updated, set back to Infinite & updated and it worked.
In some cases, when Mark made updates, they didn't affect prior settings for some strange reason.
This is the second case where this happened to me.
I still stand by using a very short DB for initial testing.
If you load 500 lines you might have a wait for it to be initially "digested"
When I first did that it took almost 10 minutes but Mark worked on it to speed it up since then as he promised.
