Creating Databases with Airtable

Adultβ€’28 minutes

Learning Objective

I can create a basic database in Airtable.

Key Concepts

In Airtable, a collection of databases is called a workspace, and individual databases are called bases.

Instead of columns and rows, Airtable uses fields and records to organize data.

Airtable allows you to link tables using relationships and view your data in different ways, such as a calendar view.
