# What is a Table?

A **Table** in Tabidoo is the building block of your application. It's where your data is stored, structured, and managed—similar to a sheet in Excel, but much smarter and more powerful.

Each table contains:

-   **Columns** – called *fields*, like Name, Date, Status, Price…
-   **Rows** – individual records of data
-   **Types and rules** – each field can have validation, default values, or formatting
-   **Relationships** – you can link records across tables (e.g., Orders → Customers)

Tables can also include **filters, sorting, actions**, and **permissions**, so you can define exactly how your team works with data.

You can have one simple table—or a network of connected tables working together to run your entire process.

>  Tip: Tables are always part of an Application—you cannot create a table outside of one.
