Create your first workspace

Set up a first TaylorDB workspace with the smallest useful structure.

A workspace is the place where your team keeps the tables, views, and workflows for one area of work. Start small: one clear table, a few important fields, and one view your team can use every day.

Hosted walkthrough videos can live in public/ and be embedded from MDX with native browser controls.

Pick one workflow

Choose one workflow before creating fields. Good first workspaces include customer tracking, support requests, project intake, or lightweight sales follow-up.

Add the core table

Create a table for the main thing your team needs to track. For a customer workspace, that might be companies. For support, that might be requests.

const firstWorkspaceFields = [
    { name: 'Company', type: 'text', required: true },
    { name: 'Owner', type: 'person' },
    { name: 'Next step', type: 'text' },
    { name: 'Status', type: 'select', options: ['New', 'Active', 'Waiting'] },
];

Create the first view

Use the first view to show the records that need attention now. Keep it focused on action instead of trying to show every possible detail.
