Learning about data tables
Data tables are simply tables with columns and rows of information. They allow you to manipulate the information in the table, arranging it in a coherent and meaningful way for your purposes. Much of the information collected and managed by the Data Management Service relies on data tables.
With data tables you can:
- Quickly sort by the headings
- Change your view (change to one of the other built-in views)
- Create custom views (change the fields and field order)
- Share your custom view
- Export your view to a spreadsheet
- Add filters to your data table views
- and more!
All data tables have the same look and feel. Most data tables have the same controls, buttons, and options.
Some common data tables are:
- Animals > Animals List
- Contacts > Contacts List
Importing and adding animals
You'll be importing animals from your own spreadsheet or from other adoption sites such as Petfinder. You will be adding animals too. We will talk you through this process. We know - it's tough to read the documentation, but we're making it as easy as we can for you. In addition, we are always available to help you.
