Databases: Actions Panel#

Database Section Actions Panel is the top toolbar containing control elements for managing the list of database connections. It allows adding new connections, searching existing ones, filtering the list, and customizing column display in the table.

Location: Access the section through the left navigation panel, under "Databases".

Available Actions:

  • Add a new database connection
  • Search connections by name
  • Filter the list by selected or deleted entries
  • Change the order and visibility of table columns


"Add Database" Button#

The "Add Database" Button is used to create a new connection to the database. Upon clicking, the "Create Database" modal window opens, where connection parameters are filled in.

How to create a connection:

  1. Click Add Database in the top panel.
  2. Enter a value in the "Connection Name" field in the "Create Database" window.
  3. Check the "Database Type" field — by default, it displays SQLite.
  4. If needed, toggle the switch Use existing .db file and specify the "Path to .db file".
  5. Click Save.

After saving, a new entry appears in the connections table. If the "Connection Name" field is empty, a tooltip "Name is required" is displayed below it, and the Save button remains inactive.

The "Connection Name" field is mandatory. The Save button becomes active only after it is filled.


"Search" Field#

The "Search" Field is designed for quickly finding a connection in the list by its name. It is located in the top panel of the section and is available without additional steps.

Enter the connection name in the Search field, and the table will immediately update, showing only relevant entries. Clearing the field returns the list to full display.


"Filters" Button#

The "Filters" Button opens the filters panel, allowing you to narrow down the list of connections based on specific criteria. Available filters enable displaying only selected or deleted entries.

How to apply a filter:

  1. Click Filters in the top panel.
  2. Enable the parameter Show Selected Only to display only selected connections.
  3. Or enable Show Deleted Only to view deleted records.

The table updates according to the selected filter. Disabling the filter returns the full list of connections.


"Columns" Button#

The "Columns" Button opens the window for managing table columns of connections. In this window, you can rearrange columns by dragging and save the new arrangement.

How to change column order:

  1. Click Columns in the top panel.
  2. In the "Columns" window, drag elements in the desired order.
  3. Click Save.

Changes apply to the table immediately after saving. The new column order is saved for future section sessions.
