### What is Airtable?

[Airtable](https://zapier.com/blog/what-is-airtable/) is a user-friendly online platform designed for the creation and sharing of relational databases. By integrating **Airtable** with **Archbee**, you can leverage its ease of use to enhance your data management and collaboration efforts.

You can store, organize, and collaborate on information about anything—like employee directories, product inventories, and even apartment hunting.

### Basic components of Airtable

- **Bases**
  Single databases with all the information you need for your project. Your base might be called "Employee Directory" or "New Car Shopping." (Ours is called "Editorial Calendar and Resources.") A base contains all the data you need for one project.
- **Tables**
  Used to hold a list of data about one particular type of item. Each base can have one or more tables, similar to worksheets in a spreadsheet. In the Employee Directory base, each table hosts a particular type of information, like name, birthdate, and department.
- **Fields**
  The equivalent of spreadsheet columns, though fields are designed to bring consistency to your data. Each field has a name and can be customized to hold a wide variety of content, like photos, attachments, phone numbers, dates, checkboxes, and more.
- **Records**
  The database equivalent of spreadsheet rows and cells. Each record is an item in your list. In a table of employees, each record is a different employee, with data in each field to detail their name, department, address, and more.
- **Views**
  A different lens through which you can see the same underlying table data. These customized views can be useful when you only want to see records fitting certain criteria—perhaps to see all employees in the engineering department.

### Use Cases

A client can embed an Airtable URL on Archbee, in order to have an overview of the Airtable component that are relevant to their documentation.

Here is an example of how we integrate with Airtable and how the Airtable embed looks on public docs:
