Collections

Your data, organised

A collection is a smart, customisable table for each type of data you track: Clients, Projects, Invoices, Assets, anything.

Define fields from 30+ types including text, dates, currency, locations, linked records, and measurements.

You don't have to be an expert - AI can turn plain English or your existing spreadsheets into a reliable system, in seconds.

Views

See your data, your way

Create filtered Views for your Opportunities like "Open Tasks" or "Overdue Invoices", each with its own sorting, grouping, and visible columns. Keep your team focused on what matters, without distractions.

Control granular permissions so different people see exactly the data they need to see, and nothing they don't.

  • Update record fields and details
  • Create and assign tasks
  • Generate PDFs from document templates
