Imagine you're working with a large team, or maybe you've created a complex base with a ton of tables, views, and fields. Without proper documentation, it's easy to forget why certain fields were created or what type of data should go in them. It can be pretty frustrating.
Well, NocoDB has a simple but powerful feature that can help you with this. Introducing the descriptions feature that can let you add detailed description for each of these elements. Serving as a built-in guide for anyone using your base. Let's see how to add descriptions.
First, let's check out table description. You can do this either while creating a new table by using the add description option or later on. To add or edit a description after creation, simply head to the table's context menu, select edit description, and type in your details. That's it. And once saved, an information icon will appear right here.
And when you hover over it, your description will be displayed. Now let's do the same for a view. Go to the View context menu, edit description, type it in, and you're done.
You can easily see the description from here. The same applies for fields as well. Click on the field context menu, edit description. and enter the details. You can do this for each field, ensuring every piece of data is clearly documented.
And there you have it! By adding descriptions to your tables, views, and fields, you're making sure that your base stays organized and accessible, even as it grows. It's a small habit that can save you a ton of time and confusion in the future.
