### Managing and Viewing Your Data

Once shared with your users, they can easily **view, manage, and control the database** through a simplified and organized interface.  

Here’s what you can do within your database view:

* **Table Controls** – The table layout is designed for clarity and ease of use.  
* **Column Filters** – Show or hide columns based on your preference. You can also **pin columns** to the left or **enable/disable text wrapping** for a cleaner view.  
* **Zoom Options** – Zoom in or out to adjust the view to your comfort.  
* **Quick Search** – Use the search bar at the **top-right corner** to instantly find specific data — no need to scroll through long tables.

### Filtering Data in a Database View

Filtering data is easy with NoteForms. You can control exactly what appears in your view by adding conditions or rules.  

To set up filters:

1. Go to the **Edit Database View** page.  
2. On the left side, click **“Add rule.”**  
3. Set the conditions to determine when specific rows should appear in your table.  

This flexible, rule-based filtering helps you display only the data that matters most.
