We’ve updated the search bar in the sidebar to open our command menu with a powerful search engine. You can search for any page by its name, section name, or team name, then quickly navigate to it completely with the keyboard.

You can also trigger the command menu with a keyboard shortcut (⌘K or Ctrl + K) to navigate or take action in Basedash in just a few key presses.

Record creation form customization

We added the ability to customize the record creation form so that you can hide certain attributes. This lets you simplify your record creation flow to only show the essential attributes for you and your teammates.

You can configure this by editing a view, selecting the “Form” layout in the sidebar, and changing the “Optional in form” attributes. After updating the form attributes, you can change the view back to your preferred layout before saving.

Removal of connection tables

In the coming weeks, we will be removing the ability to access tables directly through the connections page. You'll still be able to access all of your data through views and queries, with the added benefit of having full control of permissions through teams. You'll also be able to take advantage of layouts, actions, and relations.

This is part of a larger change that will simplify navigation with a single unified sidebar, and allow for more organization through manual reordering.

Newly created workspaces already have this change applied, so this will only affect workspaces created more than a month ago. Affected users will see an alert in the app notifying you of the upcoming changes.

If you have any questions about this change, or want help transitioning your current workflows, send us a message.
