A view is a live table page over one of your data sources — customers, orders, leads, whatever your company tracks. Views appear in the sidebar’s DATA section, and the same table engine also powers built-in surfaces like Knowledge, Decisions, and Runs, so everything in this chapter applies there too.
New here? Your Data is the plain-language map of every data domain — what each one holds and where its full reference lives.
Where: Sidebar › DATA(your views). Each view lives at its own page.

Views in the sidebar

  • Each view shows with its own label and icon. Drag entries to reorder (your order is saved).
  • Which views you see depends on your departments: a view can be assigned to specific departments (set by an admin under Settings › Departments › Visible Data Tabs); unassigned views are visible to everyone in the company. Admins see all views.
  • Delete a view (Company Admins): hover the entry and click the trash icon — this removes the view from navigation only; “The underlying table is not touched.” Built-in foundation views cannot be deleted.

Adding a view

Click the button at the bottom of the DATA section (“Add view from database” — creating views requires the Company Admin role):
  1. Add View from Database — search all tables and views in your database, grouped by schema, each showing its column count.
  2. Configure — set the Label, a Group (Views / Agents / Knowledge / Data / Reports / Custom), and pick an icon. Click Add View; columns are discovered automatically and the view appears in your sidebar.

The table

Every view page shows the view name, row count, last-updated time, stat cards (Total plus automatic counts like Active/Success/Failed or per-category counts), and the table itself.

Finding data

Shaping the table

  • Columns button — show/hide columns.
  • Drag column headers to reorder; drag the header edge to resize (60–800 px).
  • All of it — widths, visibility, order, sorting, filters — is saved per user per view and restored next time. A Reset button restores the view’s defaults.
  • View modes: Table, Cards (auto-arranged record cards with their own sort dropdown), and Kanban (auto-pivoted on the status-like column). Note: dragging kanban cards between columns is visual only — it does not change the data.

Selecting and exporting

  • Row checkboxes + Select all. With a selection, a bar shows “N selected” and a Copy button (copies the selection as a Markdown table).
  • Export CSV exports the currently filtered rows and visible columns.
  • Pagination at the bottom: first/previous/next/last, with the row range and page indicator.

Working with records

  • Add (+ in the page header) creates a record in a form dialog with the same layout as the detail view.
  • Click a row to open the record detail popup with three tabs:
    • Details — fields grouped into Overview, Content, Configuration, and Metadata sections. Edit and Save changes.
    • Linked — related records. Not yet available.
    • History — on views with history enabled: every saved version with a field-level diff (before → after) and a Restore button per version.
  • Long cell values truncate with a tooltip; IDs of related records display as names automatically.
  • There is no row delete on generic views — records are managed by their owning surface (e.g. Memories has its own delete).

”Who sees this?” — record visibility

On views whose records support scoping (e.g. Decisions), the detail and create dialogs show a “Who sees this?” selector at the top: Two layers of visibility work together:
  1. View level — which departments can open the view at all (admin-managed).
  2. Record level — the “Who sees this?” scope on each record.
Admins see all records; everyone else sees company-wide records plus what is scoped to them. Agents obey the same rules — they read through their owner’s eyes.

Live views

The activity views (Runs, Agent Inbox, Agent Decision Log) auto-refresh every 5 seconds and show a green “Auto-refreshing” indicator. Analytics and Cost are dashboards rather than tables (see Agent Activity).

Where the data comes from

A view reads either a real table/database view in your workspace database, or an imported dataset. Rows are always isolated to your company, then filtered by your departments and the record-level scopes above. External systems can push data in through ingest endpoints (admin-managed under Settings › Data Sources — see Settings).

What each view is for

Your standard catalog. Every new company starts with a ready-made set of views — nothing to build: the Commerce tables (Products, Orders, Order Line Items, Customers), the Procurement surfaces (Purchase Orders, Suppliers, Procurement Queue, Product Demand, and the related analytics — see Purchasing & Procurement), and the governance views (Strategy, SOP, and the agent activity surfaces). They are wired for ingest and agent access out of the box; your data fills them as it arrives. The standard commerce/procurement views, each linked to its full field reference: For the full plain-language map of every data domain — including the marketing, outreach, and knowledge domains — see Your Data.

Getting data in

Admins connect external systems under Settings › Data Sources: generate a scoped API key per table, point the external tool at POST /api/ingest/<slug>, and rows appear in the matching view — idempotently, so re-sending the same record updates instead of duplicating. Ready-made Make.com flow templates cover the Shopify tables. Full details in the Ingest API reference.
