Databases & Views
Dokyo databases let you store structured data with typed properties. The same data can be displayed as a table, kanban board, list, or chart, and you can filter and sort each view independently.
A Dokyo database is a collection of records (rows) with typed properties (columns). Unlike a plain table, the same underlying data can be viewed in several ways, and each view can have its own filters and sorting.
Property types
Each column has a type that controls how its values are entered and displayed:
- Text and Number
- Select and Multi-select for tags and categories
- Date
- Checkbox
- And more depending on your needs
Views
Display the same records in whichever way fits the task:
- Table view: a spreadsheet-like grid, ideal for editing many fields at once.
- Kanban view: cards grouped into columns by a select property, great for workflows and task boards.
- List view: a clean, compact list of records.
- Chart view: visualize your data with charts to spot trends.
Filters and sorts
Each view can apply its own filters (show only records that match conditions) and sorts (order records by one or more properties). This lets the same database power a "My open tasks" list and a "Completed this week" chart at the same time.
Embedding databases in pages
You can embed a database directly inside a page using the slash command, so structured data lives alongside your documents and notes.
