# Tabidoo’s Terminology

Tabidoo is built around applications that contain tables. Tables are similar to what you know from Excel — they store and manage records.  If you don’t want to start from scratch, you can use Templates. These are ready-made applications prepared for immediate use, which you can also customize to your needs.

To better understand how [Tabidoo](https://tabidoo.cloud/en) works, it helps to know the basic terminology.

## Application

[Applications](https://help.tabidoo.cloud/en/article/what-is-an-application) are the cornerstone of Tabidoo. Each [application](https://tabidoo.cloud/en/templates/crm-platinum) can contain one or more tables, similar to what you may know from Excel. Applications allow you to organize data into logical units (e.g., CRM, HR, ATS).

## Modules

[Modules](https://help.tabidoo.cloud/en/article/modules) let you group tables within an application. This is especially helpful if you have many tables in one app or want to share data between areas (e.g., using a shared Contacts module across HR and CRM)..

## Table

[Tables](https://help.tabidoo.cloud/en/article/what-is-a-table) are where you define your data structure. You can design them freely to fit your needs.  
Example: In an **Order System** application, you might have tables such as *Customers*, *Orders*, *Suppliers*, and *Products*.

## Record

[Records](https://help.tabidoo.cloud/en/article/manage-records) are the rows inside a table. They represent individual items of data (e.g., one customer, one order). You can **add**, **edit**, or **delete** records at any time.

## Field

[Fields](https://help.tabidoo.cloud/en/article/basic-fields) are the columns inside a record. Each field stores a specific piece of information.  
Example: In a *Customers* table, you might have fields for *Name*, *Address*, *Email*, and *Phone Number*.
