Manage your data better - import, access ++

New

Airtable attachments to Firebase storage

Airtable sometimes makes it hard to use images and file URLs in your apps. It also lacks a strong content delivery network (CDN) to quickly distribute your files globally. Also, the attachment images/files URL expire. 

One solution is to move your data from Airtable to Rowy. This will automatically import and upload all of your files and images to Firebase's storage. Firebase provides a powerful backend platform to manage your assets and, with Rowy's table UI, you can manage them effortlessly in a no-code environment.

 


Improved

Import data with find and update functionality

New import wizard helps you import data any number of times with insert / search-update. This means you can import and reimport data from CSV, JSON, or Airtable without getting duplicate rows.

To do this, make sure you match by a unique ID field when importing. If you select columns as unique row identifiers during import, then the import ensures that it updates existing rows if it can find one or add new rows only if the existing row is not found. This is useful when you need to make bulk updates or reimport data.

New features and enhancements 🎨

New

Customize single and multi select fields

Give your data life with colors. Pick a color for options in the single-select and multi-select fields. 


New

Export tables with >10K rows without limits

You can now export large tables to CSV files with ease. The exported file gets stored in your own Firebase Storage and the link to download it from the Rowy UI expires after 1 day. This ensures your data is secure and stays in your own cloud project.

Large export is a Rowy Pro paid feature.


Improved

Move data between projects with ease

Copy data from one project to another with ease.

  • Export table settings and create a table with that settings.
  • Export data as CSV and import CSV including fields such as date/datetime, JSON arrays, images, files -> stored to database storage

Table improvements

New

Reorder files and images

You can now change the order in which the images and files are listed on your table by simply dragging and rearranging them.

New

Sorted table views

Want a table to be always sorted by a specific column? You can now sort tables on a column and save that as the default view for everyone viewing that table. Super useful when you want to ensure sorting by a datetime field or some value for all your users.

Improved

Easy access to your existing data

You can now view all your existing collections and set them up with one click, with pre-filled config.

New columns ✨ and improved logging

New

Formula field

Get calculated field values based on other columns. You can code in javascript to calculate anything: eg - add numbers, logic, concat strings etc.

Lightweight UI-only field, not stored in the database (use derivatives if you want data persisted).

New

Array field

One of the most asked column types. You can now easily create arrays, using Firebase like UI, esp if the JSON field type with array didn't cut it for you.

New

Editable user columns

Build any workflows and assign row items to users. Useful in a variety of use cases such as operational admin, project management, customer support, and many more.

Improved

Improved logging

Debug your cloud functions better - by adding logging statements to your code snippets - on derivatives, action scripts, extensions, and webhooks. All logs are available in the cloud logs tab.
