Zero-Config Table Views
There's a gap between "I've defined my data model" and "I can work with my data." Traditionally, closing that gap required configuring each view — choosing columns, setting up search, defining sort options, adding filters. All necessary, but all overhead before you can actually use what you've built.
Zero-config table views close that gap automatically.
What You Get Without Configuration
When you define an object type, a fully functional list view appears immediately. The platform derives sensible defaults from your field definitions:
- Columns: The most important fields become columns — title, key date, status, primary relation. The system chooses based on field types and ordering.
- Search: Full-text search is enabled across all text fields by default.
- Sort: Every column header is clickable for ascending/descending sort.
- Filters: Common filter types (status, date range, owner) are available based on what fields exist.
- Pagination: Large datasets paginate automatically.
The view is usable from the moment you create your first record — no additional setup required.
Customization Isn't Gone
Zero-config defaults are a starting point, not a ceiling. Once you've seen the automatic view, you can customize it:
- Reorder columns or hide ones that aren't relevant to the list context
- Add filter options for fields not included in the defaults
- Create saved views (presets) with specific filter and sort combinations
- Configure conditional formatting for specific column values
The defaults get you working immediately. The customization options let you optimize over time.
For Rapid Prototyping
Zero-config views are especially valuable when you're building out a new workspace. You can design your object types, create a few records, and immediately see how the data looks and behaves in a list — without a separate "configure the views" step in between.
The faster you can see your data in action, the faster you can iterate on your data model and your workspace design.
Define the data. Work with it immediately.
