Collections

Before developing a system, we usually have to abstract the business and build a data model. It's called collections in NocoBase. Collections in NocoBase consists of fields (columns) and records (rows). The concept of a collection is similar to the concept of a data table in a relational database, but the concept of fields is slightly different.

For example, in a collection describing an order, each column contains information about a specific attribute of the order, such as the delivery address, while each row contains all the information about a specific order, such as order number, customer name, phone number, delivery address, etc.

Separate "data structure" and "user interface"

NocoBase's Data and View are separated, managed and presented by Collections and Blocks respectively.

This means that,

• you can create one collection and design one set of interfaces for it, to enable the presentation and manipulation of data.
• You can also create one collection and design many sets of interfaces for it, for the presentation and manipulation of data in different scenarios or roles.
• You can also create multiple collections and then design one set of interfaces for them to display and manipulate multiple data tables at the same time.
• You can even create multiple collections and then design multiple sets of interfaces for them, each of which can operate on multiple data tables and perform unique functions.

Simply put, the separation of data and interfaces makes the organization and management of data more flexible, and how you present the data depends on how you configure the interfaces.
