For example if you have an Address table and a Cities table, add a Foreign Key data type to the Address table and drag and drop the Cities table onto it. On your page you can add the Foreign Key field and it will be displayed as a drop-down list of cities. Is this what you were looking for? The following user(s) said Thank You: admin, eyelezz

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
