undb Introduces New Gallery View: A Visual Way to Manage Your Image Data

Dear undb Users,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Gallery View! This feature allows you to select an attachment column and display the images within it as the main part of cards, presenting your data in a visually appealing and intuitive way.

What is Gallery View?

Gallery View is a new way to display your data tables in undb. When your data table contains an attachment column with images, you can set this column as the primary visual element in the Gallery View. Each record in your data will be displayed as a card, with the image prominently featured. This makes it easier than ever to browse and manage data rich in visual content.
