How to use model starters?
Starters on the landing screen are ready table structures with demo data. They are a structural scaffold, not a finished automation: fields and links are preset; you connect processes separately.
When you need this
- You want a quick example: tasks, products with categories, office addresses.
- You want to see associations between tables before designing your own.
- You are new to Custom Data and need a field layout reference.
Key terms
- Starters — block on New model (
/templates). - Examples: Products and categories, User tasks, Office addresses (bundles may create several tables).
- Starter badge — marks a template.
- After save — View data with demo rows.
Before you start
Step-by-step
- Click Create table or open
/templates. - In Starters, pick a card (e.g. Products and categories).
- Follow Create table wizard:
- Table name / Fields — review names and types.
- Display — toggle Table / Card if needed.
- Review — list of bundle tables.
- Click Save table.
- On the completion screen, open each table — View — and review demo records.
- Optionally Edit structure or replace demo rows after real import.
What happens next
One or more tables are created with demo data. They appear in Tables on the left; association fields are wired inside the bundle.
How to verify
- Message Table "{name}" has been saved or bundle "{name}" is ready.
- Demo rows visible in View data.
- Linked tables (categories ↔ products) show labels, not only IDs.
