Quickstart Guide

In this section, you'll learn quick steps to some of the PowerTable features.

Access Control and Governance

PowerTable provides granular access control mechanisms.

Row Access Administrators can define who can create, update, or delete rows.

Column Access Specific columns can be restricted from editing while remaining visible to users.

Audit Logs Every change is tracked with a complete history of modifications.

Approval Workflows

Approval workflows allow organizations to enforce governance over data changes.

Workflow cycle: 1. User submits a change request. 2. Approvers receive notification. 3. Approver reviews before‑and‑after values. 4. Approver can approve, reject, or propose modifications. 5. Approved changes are written to the database.

Multi‑level approval chains can be configured for sensitive data.

Automation

PowerTable includes a no‑code automation engine that executes workflows based on triggers and actions.

Triggers may include: • Row creation • Row update • Row deletion • Scheduled events • Button clicks

Actions include: • Sending notifications • Updating records • Integrating with external systems • Running webhooks

Forms and Data Entry

Forms allow structured data collection and simplified data entry. Users can submit new records using customizable input controls such as dropdowns, date pickers, and lookup fields.

Project Management with Gantt Layout

The Gantt layout converts task data into a visual timeline. Tasks are displayed as bars representing their duration from start date to end date.

Capabilities include: • Progress tracking • Milestone management • Dependency mapping • Baseline comparisons • Earned value calculations

Crosstab Layout

The Crosstab layout presents row‑based data in a pivot‑style matrix format. Users can enter or edit values directly within cells organized by dates or categorical attributes.
