Create your data model in a few clicks!

Even if we thought Compozz to be as easy to use as possible, we know that starting from a blank page is not always easy. That's why we wrote a series of articles to help you get started with Compozz.

And we will immediately dive into the subject with the creation of a data model. For this, we will need a workspace.

If you have already created one, skip to point 2.

1. On the homepage, click on “Create a new workspace”, choose the name of your project and a description (optional). You can choose the color of your workspace and the icon that best represents it. If you are not inspired, no problem, you can modify all these parameters later.
   
2. We are now on our workspace which is completely empty. Our first step will be to create an object. Click on “Add an object” in the left sidebar and name it as you wish. For us, we are going to create a project management model and start by creating an object “Collaborators”.
   

   Customize your objects!

   Pass the mouse over the created object, 3 vertical dots appear. Click on it to make the menu appear. Click on "Edit object”. Click on the icon, a palette of icons appears, choose the one that best represents your object.

3. Add the fields that will serve to fill in the information related to your object. For this, click on the button "+ Create your first field” in the central panel.
   

   Fill in the name of the field and choose the corresponding type (text, number, date, etc.). For us, we create only a “First name” and a “Last name” field for our collaborators.

   

   As soon as the first field is created, you can start filling in the information by clicking on “Add a record”.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as your data model requires. For our example, we create 2 additional objects: “Projects” and “Time tracking”.

   As you create objects, you will be able to put them in relation. All you need to do is select “Link to another object” when you create the field.

   

   For example, we have assigned a project manager to each project. And we also created a “Collaborators” field to list all the collaborators who participated in the project.

   
5. Once the data is filled in, you just need to organize it by creating views that will allow you to aggregate the data as you want. In the example below, we want to see at a glance the distribution of projects according to the different project managers.
   

   Congratulations! You have made your first data model.
