Manual Tables & Fields

Add your first field

Open the table you want to edit and switch to the Fields tab.

The two names every field has

A field has two names. Don't mix them up:

What Example Used by
Label Start Date What humans see on forms and lists
Column start_date What the database calls it (snake_case)

Luna suggests a column name from your label automatically — accept it unless you have a strong reason to change it.

Step by step

  1. Click + Add field on the Fields tab.
  2. Type the label — e.g. Start Date.
  3. Pick the typeDate in this case.
  4. Tick Required if the form must not be blank.
  5. Click Save.

That's it. The field appears in the list, and Luna wires it through:

  • the create / edit form (with the right input control),
  • the list page (as a column),
  • the detail page,
  • and the database column.

Reorder fields

Drag the handle on the left of any field row to change the order. The order you see here is the order users see on forms and lists.

Edit or remove

Click a field to open its details panel. You can rename the label, change the type (be careful — see Common mistakes), or remove it.

Where to next

  • Field types — pick the right one — quick reference for the type dropdown.
  • Required, unique, indexed — when each constraint matters.
  • Where fields show — control what appears on which screen.
