Creating a card¶
A card is a single dataset — a named collection of fields (columns) and records (rows). Cards are the core building block of Stackify.
Create a card from scratch¶
- From the home screen, click the + button in the top-right corner.
- Select Start from scratch.
- Enter a card name and an optional description.
- Add fields using the field builder:
- Type a field name.
- Choose a field type from the dropdown (see field types below).
- Click Add field to add another.
- Click Create card when you're done.
You land directly in the card's grid view, ready to add records.
Field types¶
| Type | Use for |
|---|---|
| Text | Names, descriptions, free-form notes |
| Number | Quantities, scores, measurements |
| Date | Deadlines, event dates, timestamps |
| Boolean | Yes/No checkboxes |
| Single select | One value from a fixed list |
| Multi-select | Multiple values from a fixed list |
| Email addresses (renders as a mailto link) | |
| URL | Web links (renders as a clickable link) |
| Attachment | File uploads |
| Map point | GPS coordinates, shown on a map |
Not sure which type to use?
Start with Text — you can always change the field type later. Stackify will warn you if the change would lose data.
Rename or delete a card¶
- To rename a card: click the card name at the top of the card view and type a new name.
- To delete a card: open the card's Settings (gear icon) → Delete card. This is permanent and cannot be undone.
Warning
Only the card Owner can delete a card. Deleting removes all records and cannot be recovered.
