To **show connected tables inside a form**, you add a connected table block and choose which related records appear, which of their fields are visible, and whether users can add to them.

## Why related data usually sits out of reach

A record is rarely self-contained. The information needed to act on it lives in a related table, one navigation step away.

- An approver opening three screens to judge one request
- An employee record whose documents live elsewhere
- An order whose items require a separate lookup
- Context lost every time someone has to navigate away

## What you control on a connected block

- **Which table** appears, with more than one allowed on the same form
- **Which fields** of that table are visible
- **Whether users can add records** to it from here
- **Whether it is read-only** or editable in place
- **Filters and ordering**, so only relevant related records appear

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Open the Super Form editor in **Jestor** from the card's options.
2. Add a connected table block and give it a name, such as "additional employee data".
3. Select the connected table and choose which of its fields to display.
4. Decide whether users may add records, and whether the block is read-only.
5. Apply a filter and an ordering rule so the most relevant records appear first.

## Why choose Jestor for a 360 view of records?

**Jestor** is built on relational tables, which is why connected records can be surfaced anywhere without duplicating data. The same record appears in its own table and inside every form that references it.

Several connected tables can sit on one form, so an approver, a recruiter, or an account manager sees everything relevant to the decision on a single screen.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I show more than one connected table?

Yes, several can appear on the same form. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can users add records from inside the form?

Yes, if you enable it — otherwise the block stays read-only.
