4. Table Creation Options in Tabidoo

Every application in Tabidoo starts with one important thing – a properly designed table. Tables form the foundation of the entire application because they determine how data will work, how records will connect with each other, and how easily the application can be expanded in the future.

Whether you are building a CRM system, task management solution, HR records, helpdesk, or an internal database, a well-designed data structure determines whether the application will remain clear, functional, and sustainable in the long term.

How Can You Create Tables in Tabidoo?

Tabidoo offers several ways to create tables depending on where you are starting and how quickly you want to prepare your application.

In this video, we will explore the main ways of creating tables:

• creating tables from scratch
• importing data from Excel
• using ready-made templates
• working with extensions and existing application structures

As a result, you can choose the approach that best matches your experience and the specific needs of your company.

When Does It Make Sense to Start From Scratch?

Creating tables from scratch is ideal when you need maximum flexibility or when you work with highly specific business processes.

You can define:

• individual fields
• data types
• relationships between tables
• record structures
• future workflows and automations

This approach is often used by companies that want to build applications exactly according to their internal logic and processes.

Importing Data From Excel: The Fastest Way Into Tabidoo

Today, many companies still work primarily in Excel. That is exactly why Tabidoo allows fast and simple data imports. You simply upload your Excel file, and Tabidoo helps you create the basic structure of your tables automatically.

As a result, you can transfer existing records, contacts, projects, or internal databases into a more modern online environment without manually rewriting data. And most importantly, importing from Excel often becomes the very first step from chaos to a centralized system.

How Do Templates and Extensions Work?

If you do not want to start with a blank page, you can use ready-made templates or extend existing applications. Templates already contain prepared tables, forms, dashboards, and relationships between data, significantly speeding up the entire setup process.

At the same time, there is still plenty of room for customization and future expansion. Because every company works differently, Tabidoo allows applications to evolve together with your processes and current business needs.

How Should You Think About Data Structure?

One of the biggest mistakes when building applications is focusing only on what the company needs today.

A properly designed table structure should also work months or even years later – especially when the company grows, new users join, or additional processes appear.

That is why, in this video, we will also explain:

• how to design an effective data structure
• how to think about relationships between tables
• how to avoid duplicate data
• how to prepare applications for future growth
• why data structure is essential for automation and workflows

Because the better the application foundation is at the beginning, the easier future development becomes.
