Understanding Workspace View vs Data View

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Workspace vs Data in AnyDB: What’s the Difference?
AnyDB gives you two views that work together to support your operations: Workspace and Data View. Understanding how they differ will help you build a clear and well-structured system.

:sparkles: Workspace View
Your operational space. This is where you organize work in a way that reflects how your team operates in real life.
You can:
:file_folder: Create folders and subfolders
:card_index_dividers: Store documents, media, and forms
:pushpin: Build client or project spaces
:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Mix structured and unstructured content

Think of it like Finder, File Explorer, or Drive. Workspace is your structure.

:package: Data View
Your clean list of all data, separated by templates.
You can:
:magnifying_glass_tilted_right: Filter, search, and sort
:clipboard: Switch between templates in one click
:robot: Access automations and forms connected to each template
:bar_chart: Records grouped by templates (Orders, Customers, Shipments, etc.)

:puzzle_piece: How They Work Together
Workspace: Create records and organize them into folders along with your files and pages.
Data: View all your records in one clean, unified list.
Both use the same underlying records. No clutter. No duplicates.
