# Apps & Tables
In Sightline we use Apps and the Tables within the apps to create the structure of the software.

Each row on a report/table represents a single record. When you create a new record you will be redirected to a form that will prompt you to fill out the required information for that record. Each form represents a single record and because each table stores different information each form is also different. In the two forms below one is for adding a new employee to your company and the other is for adding a new Part to the Elements App.
## Apps
Each app in the Sightline suite connects to the other apps. Each app focuses on a specific purpose and function allowing you to focus on your work and stay productive. Each app is made of multiple tables and the tables hold your data. Each table in the navigation bar is unique to the app that you are using.

A single app may have 20 or 30 tables. Don't forget about the drop-down arrown on the right hand side to quickly find and search for a specific table in each app.

## Tables
Each row on a report/table represents a single record. When you create a new record you will be redirected to a form that will prompt you to fill out the required information for that record. Clicking the 👁️ on a single record will allow you to view all the data about that one record from a form view. Each form represents a single record on the table and because each table stores different information each form is also different.

Using grid edit 📝 on a table can be handy, but remember that the forms will always have the best formatting to edit the data and interact with the data on the record.

# Reports and Exporting
# Reports and Exporting
Tables have lots of cool hidden supoer powers. Two of the most powerful are Reports and Exporting your reports as CSVs.

## Reports
Each Table can contain multiple reports. Each report has the data formatted in a specific way, or may also be a chart, like a pie chart or bar graph. Often the information on each report is for different purposes.

Each report has a use case that has been thought out by the team and the partners we are working with, but if you need a new report with the data formatted differently that doesn't currently exist reach out to us on our [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/zNCZnKNXEv).

We will do our best to keep updating reports as frequently as possible to keep them relevant and useful.

To view other reports use the "Reports & Charts" drop-down and select the report you would like to view as shown in Navigation.

## Exporting
When you need to manipulate the data beyond what is possible naitively in Sightline or you need to send the data to someone outside of the Sightline system you can download the report you are looking at as a CSV. Keep in mind if there are buttons on the form you are exporting, those buttons will show up at hyperlinks in the CSV once you open it. Many of our reports are designed to be exported and do not contain buttons specifically for this reason.

As mentioned above in the reports section if there is a specific report you need so that you can frequently export it as a CSV and use it for other purposes please reach out to us and let us know what you need.
