Databases

Databases replaces the classic „Data Objects“ feature. It has been rewritten from the ground up to be more flexible for individual use cases.

  • Boolean: Save yes/no expressions.

  • Date and Time: Save date and/or time values

  • Float, Integer: Save integer or float values. You can also specify the unit in which the data is saved as well as (for Float values) a precision.

  • Tags: Define and attach one or more keywords. You can filter or group by the assigned tags.

  • Link: Link records of other Databases to your Database.

  • Users / Groups: Assign users or groups to a record

  • Status: Allows the definition of multiple statuses that records can be assigned to. With the integrated rules engine, you can specify the flow that assigned records have to follow.

  • Text: Save single or multi-line text values. Optionally, the content can be validated.

  • Files: Attach one or more files to a record.

• Enhanced data views: Edelog now offers multiple view options for you to display your data. You can also create custom views with individual settings per Database

  • Table view: Display records as a table.

  • Variation tree: Display records and their data variations using a tree structure. You can use the variation information to filter data records.

  • Tiles view: Display records as tiles that can show information side-by-side

• Comments: You can now add comments to a data record via the Activities view.

• Archive data records: Data records can now be archived. In archive state the records won’t be displayed in list views but can still be accessed using links or references.

• Create data objects via Email: Each Database now gets an automatically generated email address that can be used to create new records.

• Filter & Sort: Database records can be filtered and sorted using the list views.

• Custom Edit & Create views: Administrators can specify custom views that are displayed for creating / editing data records.

• Users can mark Databases as favorites. Favorites are pinned to the sidebar for easy access.
