Overview: Data structures in Pantarey
In Pantarey, data structures are the foundation for many features – from forms and process data to analytics.
Why are data structures so important?
- Central base for processes: Forms are generated automatically based on data structures.
- Validation and quality: Required fields, data types, and constraints ensure clean data.
- No extra infrastructure: All data structures live directly in the system – no external database project needed.
- Analytics-ready: Each data structure creates a table that can be queried via SQL.
- Process integration: Processes read from and write to the defined structures.
Examples of data structures
