Baserow Features

The dashboard provides a central location where you can manage your databases. It offers an overview of all your tables, fields, and rows. You can customize it according to your preferences for easy navigation and efficient management.

Baserow supports real-time collaboration to allow multiple users to work on the same database simultaneously. It is particularly useful for teams, especially those working remotely, as it enables seamless cooperation and ensures everyone has access to the most up-to-date data.

With this feature, users can visualize their content in various ways, such as in a form, Kanban, gallery, or calendar view. Users can customize these views to interact with their data most meaningfully.

Baserow lets users filter data based on specific criteria to find exactly what they want. Additionally, the sorting feature allows you to arrange your data in ascending or descending order based on one or more fields.

One of the key benefits of a relational database is the ability to link related data. Baserow supports this with its linking rows feature, allowing users to link rows between tables. Its ability to provide clear and accessible data makes navigating and understanding the relationships between different pieces of data easier.

Pros

Baserow is the most affordable software on the market that allows for easily creating a highly customizable, multi variable catalog of items and even has the capacity to include photos. I use it to create and sort lists of hundreds of items and props and organize them by all the scenes that they play in. When the scheduled day for a scene changes, with a few simple clicks, I can change the day that scene was slated to shoot on and all the dozens of not hundreds of props associated with that scene shift to the new day. It has shaved so much time off of managing itemized lists.

Cons

The interface on mobile or tablet is a bit crowded. But I understand that is also somewhat because of how I use the product out in the field. I feel like the card view could have more formating or vanity organizational options.

Pros

Clean interface. Seems to load much faster than airtable. Support is by far exceeds others.

Cons

Baserow, is missing many features offered by airtable. Such as the view imbed feature, where we can imbed a certain view, with automatically generated I frame, with options to convert the "grid" view into card format, (horizontal), thats very pleasing to look at. another, is hidden items. with baserow there is no option to hide items in order to minimize "item headers", but have all items fully visible in expanded mode. in base row hidden items remain hidden, which makes the entire feature worthless. also, the controls, are as worthless as airtable, and are not compatible with mobile devices, in imbed / I Frame mode. Serious IOs compatibility as well, just like the competition.
