nocodb dev team was very generous for me when helping me evaluate their product for my use case, including creating a test environment to understand my request. I ended up not using them, but they created an issue for me on GitHub, saying my request was on their roadmap. https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/580 https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/580 Oh and they quickly researched a solution to an installation bug I was experiencing. https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/579 https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/579 TL;DR: great customer service from nocodb, so I'm happy to consider nocodb for future projects.

> https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/580 https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/580 What's a Page Designer? Do you mean forms for data entry? Or report pages (read-only data)?
- rnavi 5y ago
  We support Forms. By page designer - its about custom reports from the data.
  - mistermann 5y ago
    Do you support custom layouts (including big text boxes for certain fields, or at least a pop up zoom), and embeddable subforms? Yes, I am basically looking for MS Access for the web, and I realize I'd have to give up A LOT, but certain things I just need (a gui for designing complicated forms is nice to have, but not necessary, but the layout is).
    - petilon 5y ago
      When you say embeddable subforms, do you mean master-detail forms? What is your scenario?
      - mistermann 5y ago
        Yep, master form (single row or multi, row select loads children) with detail child(ren) (usually multi row, but sometimes single), direct relationship or via xref table(s). Hope that makes sense? I don't mind so much having to write some plumbing code if necessary as long as I can get the job done.

Hey, happy to bump in here. I've added page designer to our immediate roadmap now.
