Data Platform Overview

The data platform is where you work with your data day-to-day. It provides a spreadsheet-like interface with the structure and validation of a database.

Interface Layout

The main interface consists of:

• Toolbar — Menu bar with File, Tools, and Help menus, plus your user profile
• Table Toolbar — Row count, add row button, filter/sort controls, and preset management
• Data Table — Your data in a scrollable, editable grid
• Properties Panel — Column and view settings (right sidebar)
• Activity Panel — Real-time activity feed showing changes by your team

Working with Data

Adding Rows

Click the Add Row button in the table toolbar. A dialog will appear with fields for each column in the current view. Required fields are marked, and constraints are validated before saving.

Editing Cells

Click on any cell to edit it inline. The cell editor adapts to the column type — text fields, number inputs, date pickers, dropdowns, and more.

Press Enter to save, Escape to cancel.

Selecting Rows

Click the checkbox on any row to select it. You can:

• Select individual rows for bulk operations
• Use "Select all" to select all rows on the current page
• Select all rows matching the current filter

Bulk Operations

With rows selected, a floating action bar appears at the bottom with options to:

• Edit — Change a field's value across all selected rows
• Export — Download selected rows
• Delete — Remove selected rows (with confirmation)

Real-Time Updates

SchemaStack uses server-sent events (SSE) to keep your view synchronized with other users. When someone else adds, edits, or deletes data, you'll see the changes appear automatically.

The connection status is shown as a banner:

• Connected — No banner, everything is in sync
• Reconnecting — A brief interruption, reconnecting automatically
• Disconnected — Connection lost, click "Reconnect" to restore

Activity Panel

The Activity Panel (right sidebar) shows a real-time feed of changes happening in the current workspace. Each entry includes:

• Event type — Row created, updated, or deleted; column added or modified; view changed
• Timestamp — When the event occurred
• User — Who made the change

Use the activity panel to stay aware of what your team is doing, review recent changes, or track down when a specific change was made.
