Context Building 🏔

So far with Baserow you’ve learned about workspaces, databases, tables, fields and automations.

In this lesson, you’re going to level-up your knowledge once again by learning about Baserow’s templates and relational database functionality.

A relational database is a type of database which is organised into multiple data tables, connected through unique relationships. The nature of these interconnected tables supports efficient data management and analysis.

Watch this video from IBM technology if you’d like to learn a little more about the technical structure and terminology related to relational databases.

In today’s lesson you’re going to use a Baserow template to get set up with a Brand Asset Manager that uses related tables. You’re then going to add a new table to the database and connect it via unique entity.

In this lesson you’ll learn:

Let's Prep 🥗

Today you’ll pretend that you’re responsible for organising branded assets within a company.

Without a brand asset manager, you’re finding that everyone in the company is using different logos, images, copy and media. It’s creating a franken-brand, causing inconsistency in the presentation of your brand and resulting in poor brand reputation.

Today, you’ll fix that by creating a brand asset manager that ensures everyone in your company has a single source of truth for the brand assets that they should be using.
