Create and Manage a MiniUp Table
A MiniUp Table stores editable records and provides a Table API for applications. Use Tables for forms, bookings, directories, and other data that changes one record at a time. Use Parquet for larger analytical datasets.
Create a MiniUp Table
Sign in and create or choose a destination Site first.
- Open Dashboard → API and choose Design Table, or open Dashboard → your Site → API to import a file.
- Give the Table a descriptive name and a stable slug such as
customer-leads. - In Design Table, add columns with names and types: Text, Number, True / False, or Date. Choose the access preset appropriate to the app.
- For import, choose a CSV or XLSX file, set First row is header, and review inferred names, types, and sample rows. Clean blank headers and mixed types in the source before importing.
- Review Require API key for reads and the Table’s action permissions. Finish creating or importing the Table.
- Open the Table and check its records and generated API information.
Add, edit, and delete records
Use the Table’s record viewer to add values matching the schema. Select a record to edit its fields, save it, and verify the result. Use the delete action only for records you intend to remove. The record ID identifies the record for API updates; it is not the row’s current position in a sorted view.
Use sorting and pagination or lazy loading to inspect records. Use the available export action to download data before bulk changes. Empty Tables show no records until you add or import them.
Example: a customer request Table
Create customer-requests with Text columns name, email, and message. Choose Form / Booking / RSVP if visitors should submit requests but should not read everyone else’s submissions. Use an authenticated app when the business workflow requires individual member permissions.
Important Table access notes
The Table’s API methods and access requirements both matter. A key does not enable a disabled method. A Public Site does not automatically make every Table public. Never put a server key or private write key into public JavaScript.
