How to Show Connected Tables Inside a Form

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

Open the Super Form editor in Jestor from the card's options.
Add a connected table block and give it a name, such as "additional employee data".
Select the connected table and choose which of its fields to display.
Decide whether users may add records, and whether the block is read-only.
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
