Buildaible Lingo

Workspace

In Buildaible, workspaces are home to a collection of apps. Whether your team is organizing the next company potluck or managing your entire inventory system, Buildaible can handle it all—the possibilities are limitless!

Applications (Apps)

Apps in Buildaible are built by you—no coding required. Easily create and customize apps to fit your team’s unique needs, whether it's managing projects, tracking resources, or handling daily operations. Buildaible puts the power of app creation directly in your hands.

Tables

Tables in Buildaible allow your team to organize data and manage workflows just the way you need to. Effortlessly build and customize tables to fit your team’s processes—no coding required. It’s data management, your way.

Records

Records are the heart of your Buildaible apps—they represent the actual data within your app. They are essential for tracking, managing, and utilizing the information that drives your business.

Fields

Fields are the versatile elements of your Buildaible apps, handling everything from text and numbers to dates and related information. With a range of field types available, you can easily capture and organize all the details you need.

Forms

Forms simplify record management. Buildaible’s intuitive forms interface lets you customize how information is entered, making the process seamless and user-friendly.

Reports

Reports help you analyze and visualize your data. With Buildaible, you can create custom reports and charts to see trends, track performance, and gain insights, all tailored to your specific needs.

Dashboards

Dashboards provide a comprehensive view of your data, allowing you to compile reports, display rich text, and more. With Buildaible, you can customize your dashboards to feature the key information you need, all in one place for easy access and analysis.

Filter Presets

Filter Presets in Buildaible bring flexibility and efficiency to your data management. These powerful tools let you define reusable filters at the table level, so you can quickly toggle between different views of your data without creating multiple reports. Whether you’re narrowing down tasks by status or analyzing records for a specific date range, Filter Presets make it easy to focus on the information that matters most.

Views

Views in Buildaible allow you to see and interact with your data in different formats. Each table comes with built-in views, such as Table View, Board View (Kanban), and Calendar View, making it easy to adapt to your workflow.

Example Use: Quickly switch between a Kanban board to track task progress and a calendar view to visualize due dates.

Relationships

Relationships in Buildaible allow you to link tables together, enabling powerful data connections. For instance, you can link a “Projects” table to a “Tasks” table, creating a seamless workflow between related data.

Example Use: Easily track which tasks are associated with specific projects and generate detailed reports.

Formulas

Formulas in Buildaible enable you to perform calculations or create dynamic fields in your tables. These formulas are written in a familiar, Excel-like syntax, making it easy to create calculated fields for totals, averages, or other custom logic.

Example Use: Calculate the total cost of an invoice by summing up line items directly in your table.

Customizable Permissions

Buildaible provides flexible access control through role-based permissions to ensure teams collaborate securely and efficiently.

Admin Roles: Admins can customize and manage apps, dashboards, and tables, including adding or editing app structures and user access.
Standard User Roles: Standard Users can interact with the data but cannot make structural changes to the app.
Granular Permissions: Buildaible already supports table-level permissions, enabling Admins to control who can view, edit, or delete data within specific tables.

Future Enhancements: Granular permissions will soon allow even more control with role-based data filtering:

Restricted Data Views: Roles can be configured to only see records matching specific criteria.
Targeted Editing: Users will only be able to edit data they are permitted to view.
Example Use: Ensure team members can only access and modify the data they need for their role, while protecting sensitive configurations and preventing accidental changes.

This robust permissions model makes Buildaible ideal for teams of all sizes, balancing flexibility and security.
