6. How to define data
Well-designed apps start with a solid understanding of the data they use. In Workmaster, you can easily define, manage, and organize the data your app needs by creating Data Objects. These Data Objects act as the foundation for your app’s data model, enabling you to store and structure various types of information such as text, numbers, images, and more. You can also establish relationships between Data Objects and manage data seamlessly through the Data Editor.
This guide provides an overview of the steps you can take to define your app's data structure:
1. Creating Data Objects:
Data Objects are the core entities of your app's data model. They define the structure for storing information like Customers, Orders, and Products.
For step-by-step instructions on creating Data Objects, refer to the Creating Data Objects section.
2. Adding Fields to Data Objects:
Fields are the individual attributes that make up a Data Object. These could include things like Name, Email, Price, or Date.
To learn how to add fields to a Data Object, visit the Adding Fields to Data Objects section for detailed instructions.
3. Creating Relationships Between Data Objects:
Relationships allow you to link Data Objects together. For example, a Customer can have multiple Orders, or a User may have one Profile.
For detailed steps on how to create relationships between Data Objects, check the Creating Relationships Between Data Objects section.
4. Managing Data with the Data Viewer and Editor:
The Data Viewer and Editor enables you to interact with the data stored in your Data Objects. You can preview, filter, and manually enter data to test your app during development.
To learn how to use the Data Viewer and Editor, refer to the Working with the Data Editor section for guidance.

CRUD Operations Overview
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. These are the basic operations you perform on data in any system, including Workmaster. Each operation allows you to manage and manipulate your app's data in a seamless and structured manner. Below is a brief overview of each CRUD operation:
Create: The Create operation allows you to add new data to your system. This operation is used when you want to add new records to a Data Object, such as adding a new customer, order, or product.
Learn more about Creating Data:
Read: The Read operation refers to retrieving or viewing the data that has already been created. It enables you to access existing records from your Data Objects and display them in your app, either for viewing or for processing.
Learn more about Reading Data:
Update: The Update operation is used when you need to modify or update the existing data in your system. This could involve changing a customer’s email address, updating a product's price, or altering any other field in a Data Object.
Learn more about Updating Data:
Delete: The Delete operation allows you to remove data that is no longer needed. For example, if a customer cancels their account or a product is discontinued, you can delete these records from the system.
These CRUD operations are essential for the full management of your data within Workmaster and are supported by dedicated widgets for each operation. You can use these widgets to perform the operations seamlessly within your app's data model.
