Best Practices

  • Design your table structure thoughtfully before adding large amounts of data

  • Use descriptive column names and table descriptions to make your data easy to understand

  • Create views for different use cases rather than modifying the main table layout

  • Leverage workflow automation to keep your data synchronized with external sources

  • Use filters in both views and workflow triggers to work with specific subsets of your data
