Configuring Spaces

Data Sources

Most components will interact with a data source in some way (whether it's displaying the data or altering it). When configuring a component, you’ll select the data source (and corresponding function, when appropriate).

  • Tables and Detail View will read and display data from particular resources within your data source.
  • Forms and buttons can use functions to edit data for particular resources within your data source.
  • JSON Viewer can return the results from a particular function within your data source.

Functions

Functions are the mechanism by which you perform various actions on data. A function can read data, insert a record, update multiple records or call an API. When configuring a component, you’ll select the particular function you want that component to execute.
