Browse your tables
Each table shows its column count, a Links to N tables badge when it references others (for example, aposts table linked to profiles), and a badge saying who can reach its rows.
Expand a table to see its columns, with plain-language types (Text, Number, Date & time, File), plus Key for identifiers and Linked for columns that point at another table.
Who can see a table’s rows
Open a table and the panel spells out what its rules actually do — Bilt reads that off the live database rather than from who wrote the rules, so tables Bilt set up in chat are described just as accurately as ones you changed yourself.
Public and private tables have a button to switch between the two, and Bilt confirms what the change means before applying it. If nothing on the table says who owns a row, you’re asked which field to use — or told to add one first. Custom rules get no button, because rewriting those rules would throw away what they say; Bilt sends you to chat instead.
On a Private per user table you still see every row in this panel — you’re the project admin, your app’s users aren’t. If the rules cover you too, the panel says that instead, so an empty grid doesn’t read as broken.
View and edit data
Click View Data on any table:- Rows load 100 per page, with search, sorting, and a column show/hide control
- Edit a cell inline, or click Add row to insert one — ID columns stay read-only
- Delete a row permanently (Bilt asks you to confirm; it can’t be undone)
- Each row has an Ask Bilt shortcut to hand it to the chat agent
Run SQL directly
For developers: the Advanced tab has a SQL editor that runs queries against your database. Reads work immediately; to change or delete data, tick “This can change or delete data” first. Queries have a 30-second limit.Ask for it in chat
