Deconstructing the Software Deals Tracker
When looking at Grist templates you may wonder why templates are structured in a particular way. We’ll show you how, starting with the Software Deals Tracker.
This template has multiple pages and widgets focused on different workflows, and yet the document is built on only one data table. In this webinar, we show you why to help you anticipate your own use cases where all you need is one table with multiple views.
