How to run this app
-
Create a new base using the
Digital video production template.
(You can also use an existing base or a different template: this app doesn't depend on any
specific attributes from that template.) -
Create a new app in your new base (see
Create a new app),
selecting "Table structure" as your template. -
From the root of your new app, run
block run.
Note: The template base does not have table or field descriptions set. It's expected for the app to
initially look a bit empty!
