Gallery View presents data as list-like cards, supporting fields with multiple lines of text and file attachments. Each row is displayed as a card, emphasizing documents and images, with the cover field featured at the top. Similar to a photographic gallery, this format allows users to visually navigate content effortlessly with a single click.

A box will appear; click on "Add filter."
Three fields will be displayed:

The filter will be applied directly to the view, updating the displayed data based on the selected criteria.

Sort Gallery View

Sorting data is essential for organization and workflow efficiency. DataLexing simplifies this by allowing sorting based on selected fields. Sorting can be done automatically or manually to control cards order.

Default Sorting:

New galleries are initially sorted by card creation time.

Automatic Sorting:

Click the Sort button in the view bar.
From the dropdown list, choose a field to sort by.
Choose a Sorting Criteria.
Cards will be automatically ordered based on the selected field.
Add multiple sorting criteria if needed, ensuring they are arranged in the correct sequence.
To remove a sorting option, click the trash button next to it.

Another way to manage sorting is by opening an expanded view or clicking on the field header and selecting Sort field from the dropdown menu.

Manual Sorting:

Users can manually reorder cards by grabbing the handle next to the card and moving it to the desired position.

Sharing a Gallery View

After creating a gallery view, you can share it via a link with anyone who has access or publish it on the internet. You also have control over how the shared data appears by using filters or hiding fields. To learn more about sharing, click here.

Cover Field

The cover field is a designated file field (such as an image) that appears at the top of the gallery card.

To set a cover field:

Ensure your table has at least one file field.
Select a file field as the gallery cover image when creating the gallery view.

If multiple file fields are present, you can change the cover field by selecting a different option from the cover field dropdown. You can also choose to have no cover field.

When a gallery view is shared publicly, its cover image will remain visible.
