Gallery View

The Gallery View in undb is a visual way to display records, particularly useful for tables containing image, video, or other media fields. It provides users with a more intuitive interface for managing and viewing multimedia data.

Gallery View

Key Features

  1. Image Display: The image fields of each record are shown as thumbnails, enabling quick previews and selection.
  2. Card Layout: Records are displayed as cards, with multiple fields shown on each card. The main element of the card is typically an image, but additional fields can be customized.
  3. Field Customization: Users can select which fields to display on the card, such as titles, descriptions, or prices, providing more context to the images.
  4. Custom Sorting and Filtering: Similar to other views, records in Gallery View can be sorted and filtered, allowing users to find specific data quickly.
  5. Click to View Details: Clicking on a record’s card will open a detailed modal view where users can see or edit all of the record’s fields.
  6. Paginated Loading: When there are many records, Gallery View supports paginated loading to ensure smooth performance even with large datasets.

How to Use

To create a Gallery View in undb, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the table you want to display.
  2. In the view bar, click the “Add View” button.
  3. In the pop-up window, select Gallery View.
  4. Name the new view and confirm the creation.

Once the Gallery View is created, you can configure the following settings:

  • Choose the Primary Image Field: By default, the first image field will be displayed, but you can configure it to select a different image field.
  • Display Additional Fields: You can choose to show other fields (like titles, descriptions, or prices) on the card. Click “Manage View Fields” to select which fields to show and rearrange their order.
  • Sorting and Filtering: You can sort the records based on fields and apply filters to only display records that meet specific criteria.

3. Editing and Actions

  • Record Editing: By clicking on a record’s card, you can open a detail view to edit, update, or delete the record.

Similar to other undb views, you can share a Gallery View by clicking the “Share” button. The shared link can be sent to non-registered users, allowing them to view the records in Gallery View but not edit them.

Use Cases

  • Product Display: The Gallery View is ideal for showcasing products with images, such as e-commerce product catalogs, project portfolios, or real estate listings.
  • Media Management: It is perfect for scenarios where multimedia resources need to be managed, such as design portfolios or asset libraries for marketing teams.

Considerations

  • Image Field Requirement: To use Gallery View, your table must contain at least one image field that can be displayed as the primary visual element for each record.
  • Performance Optimization: With large datasets, paginated loading ensures the system remains responsive by avoiding loading all records at once.
