Publish a form

A database can be seen as a table, a board, a chart — or a form. It isn't a copy of the table: it's another view of the same rows.

The table comes first

The form inherits the columns, so it pays to settle them first. On an empty page, /database inserts the table; then each column gets its type: text, number, date, status.

The type is what makes the difference. A date stored as text can't be sorted or filtered, and the form won't show a date picker for it.

Building the form

Add a view of type Form. Every column becomes a field, and each one is editable on its own:

• the title and description at the top,
• which fields are required,
• the button label,
• and the message someone sees after submitting.

The link

Copy link puts the public URL on your clipboard. Whoever opens it sees only the form: no account needed, no table, and none of the other rows.

What they submit comes in as one more row, with the types already respected — which is exactly what doesn't happen when data arrives as loose messages.
