Database — Overview

The database is the structured core of Pachurros. It works for anything you can think of in rows and columns — shot lists, equipment lists, contacts, tasks, budget overviews, image sequences, and more.

What makes up a database

Section titled “What makes up a database”
Rows
Entries

Each row is a record — a subject, a task, an appointment, or a contact.

Columns
Properties

Status, date, assignee, file — 30 column types for every use case.

Views
Presentations

Same data shown as a Table, Kanban, Gallery, Calendar, Timeline, Storyboard, Map, Chart, or Form.

You can create as many views of the same database as you like and switch between them freely. The data is always the same — only the presentation changes.
