Viewing & editing your data

Once your app remembers information, you and the people who use it work with it directly on the page — no separate tool to open. Exepad builds the everyday views for you: lists to browse, forms to add and edit, and detail pages to see one record at a time.

  • Lists — the overview. A list shows your records in rows or cards, and usually lets you search, sort, and filter (for example, “show only what’s still open” or “newest first”).
  • Forms — how information gets in and gets changed. An “Add” button opens a form to create a new record; an “Edit” button opens the same fields filled in, ready to update.
  • Detail views — a single record on its own page, showing everything about it. Handy when a record has more detail than fits in a list.

You can ask for any of these in plain language: “Add a button to create a new booking,” “Let me edit a task from its detail page,” or “Add a filter for status.”

Working with a record is exactly what you’d expect:

  • Add — open the form, fill it in, save. The new record appears in the list.
  • Edit — open a record, change what you need, save. Your update shows immediately.
  • Remove — delete a record you no longer need. Ask Exepad to add a confirmation step if you’d like a safety check first.

What someone sees can depend on who they are. Without a login, everyone using the app sees the same views. Once you add a login, you can shape the experience by role:

Owner / admin Member Visitor
Browse the list Often everything Usually just their own records Only what you choose to show
Add & edit Yes Their own Rarely
Remove records Yes Their own No

Just describe the difference you want: “Admins can see every order; a customer only sees their own,” or “Visitors can read posts but not edit them.”
