The second tab you'll find at the top of the left panel on the platform is the "Databases" tab.
Databases are the core engine of the Ermeo solution. They enable you to manage, analyze, and manipulate your company's data.
Indeed, with databases, you can automatically pre-fill your forms or store the data collected from your forms in a structured way.
The Structure of a Database
A database (also called a table) is composed of a set of resources.
All resources in a database will have the same attributes. An attribute is a characteristic of the resources within the database.
Thus, a database is defined by a set of attributes.
How a Database Works
A database allows you to store data collected from the field.
- A database can be a child of another database, called a parent database. The child database will inherit the attributes of the parent database.
→ This will help you optimize the management of common attributes across multiple databases.
- A resource can be the parent of several other resources contained in different databases.
→ This allows you to create a structured hierarchy of your data.
- A resource can be moved from Database A to Database B.
- You can export a database by exporting all the resources within that database.
