How to view and edit multiple connected tables inside the same form (360 view)

A 360 view means bringing together, in a single record's card, several tables related to it — hours history, performance reviews, reimbursements — each configurable separately. In Jestor, this removes the need to open separate screens to understand a person's or process's full history.

The problem with information scattered across separate screens

When each type of information related to a record lives on a separate screen, understanding the full history means opening several different screens, losing the overall picture.

  • Visible fields: choose which columns appear in each block.
  • Allow adding records: authorize or block creation directly there.
  • Read-only: locks editing, keeping the data for reference only.
  • Color organization: visually differentiates each connected table.

How to build a 360 view in Jestor

  • Open the main record's form: for example, an employee's file.
  • Add the connected tables: hours history, reviews, reimbursements.
  • Configure visible fields: choose which columns appear in each block.
  • Set permission per table: read-only or allow new record creation.
  • Organize by color or section: when there are many connected tables.

How to configure it in Jestor: to focus on a single record, use the form in full-screen mode — that way all connected tables stay visible without distraction from the rest of the interface.

Why choose Jestor to consolidate a record's history?

The 360 view avoids the common scenario of "opening five tabs to understand a person or process" — in Jestor, everything related to that record is one click away, configured with exactly the right access level for each table.
