Linked Tables Settings

Use Trash

The Use Trash feature allows users to temporarily store deleted items from linked tables in a “trash” section instead of immediately removing them permanently. Items in the trash can later be permanently deleted or restored if necessary. This feature acts as a safeguard, preventing accidental permanent deletions.

Check Before Delete

When the Check Before Delete option is enabled, a confirmation dialog will appear each time a user attempts to delete an item from a linked table. This pop-up asks the user to confirm the deletion, providing an additional step to ensure the action is intentional.

Enable Data Edit

The Enable Data Edit option controls whether data in linked tables can be modified during runtime. If this option is not selected, the data in the tables will remain static during runtime, and users will only be able to make changes in the Design section. Enabling this feature allows for dynamic updates to the linked table data during runtime.

Data Storage

The Data Storage section allows users to choose where the linked table data will be stored. There are two available options:

  • Native Database (MongoDB): This is the default storage option for linked tables, where the data is stored in MongoDB.
  • MSSQL: Users can opt to store their linked table data in their own Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) database instead of the native MongoDB, providing flexibility in how and where the data is managed.

This section enables users to customize how their linked table data is handled, giving control over storage, editing, and deletion processes in both runtime and design environments.
