Datatables, Fields & Data

Datatables - Working with Data in Buzzy

Working with data in Buzzy is done through Datatables: an intuitive and powerful solution that makes designing great apps straightforward. Datatables are used to store data, build forms, collect data, and add interactivity with sophisticated relationship modeling.

New to Buzzy's datamodel? Start with our Buzzy Datamodel Overview for a comprehensive guide to understanding relationships, fields, and how to work with data programmatically.

Please note - Datatables were previously called "Microapps" - some code snippets may still refer to a microapp (e.g. the API end-point microappdata). If in doubt, email support.

Note This section documentation may include references to deprecated field types
