What Makes It Useful

A quick tour of the app experience.

Manage Every Collection

Browse, create, edit, and delete records across your Directus collections with search, filters, sorting, and pagination designed for touch.

Rich Fields and Relationships

Work comfortably with text, numbers, dates, media, JSON, maps, repeaters, and linked records without dropping back to desktop.

Views That Match the Job

Switch between table, card, calendar, and kanban layouts and keep the right view saved for each collection.

Dynamic Data Pages

Build tailored working views with filters, calculations, totals, and reconciliation checks for finance, operations, and reporting.

Files and Media, Handled

Upload, preview, organize, and attach files directly from your device, with in-app support for images and PDFs.

Live While Connected

See Directus changes while connected and keep server-backed work current without maintaining a persistent offline content or mutation queue.

Standout Feature

Dynamic Data Pages for Real Business Work

Go beyond record editing with tailored views that combine filters, tables, calculations, and checks in a single workspace.

Cascading Filters — Narrow the whole workspace step by step, such as client, tax year, then category.
Multi-Table Layout — Place related tables side by side so the full workflow stays visible in one view.
Inline Data Entry — Enter balances, adjustments, and transactions without leaving the page.
Calculated Totals — Use formulas, sums, and derived values to surface the numbers that matter.
Reconciliation Checks — Compare expected and actual totals instantly to catch differences faster.
Saved Views — Keep named setups for recurring work such as income statements, budgets, or summaries.

Inventory Reconciliation

Track stock by warehouse or category and check differences without leaving the workflow.

Budget Tracking

Compare planned and actual spending with saved views for recurring review cycles.

Group regions, periods, and pipeline data into one place for faster reporting.
