Database Overview

The Store with Shopping Cart template comes with a database that contains sample data. Each Adalo database contains Collections and each collection comes with the associated Properties. Any necessary relationship between the collections is set up, as well.

Important Note About the Database:

If you delete a Collection or Property from the Feature Template, this could impact the functionality of your app.

If you add a Collection or Property to your Feature Template, this will not impact the functionality of your app.

Below is an outline of the included Collections and their Properties. The Collection name is bolded and includes a description. The Properties include their name, property type (in brackets), and a description.

Basic Collections & Properties:

👥 Users

The Users Collection automatically comes with every Adalo app. This collection will hold all the information related to anyone who uses the app. This information is initially collected from a user when they sign up to use your app.

  • Email [Text] — the user’s email address.

  • Password [Encrypted] — the user’s password to log into the app. This cannot be viewed by anyone, including the administrator.

  • Username [Text] — the user’s username.

  • Full Name [Text] — the user’s first and last name.

  • Profile Photo [Image] — the user’s profile picture.

  • Orders [One-to-Many Relationship with Orders] — all active and completed orders from each user.

🛒 Orders

The Orders Collection shows both current and past orders. Current orders are shopping carts that have not been through checkout. Completed orders are those where the user has completed checkout and paid for their items.

  • Name [Text] — this is automatically set to the user’s name and the date/time the order was created

  • Complete [True / False] — whether or not the order is completed. Set to false by default.

  • Order Items [One-to-Many Relationship] — the products that are inside the order.

  • Shipping Address [Location] — the location to ship the order. Note that location features are not available on all Adalo plans and you may need to upgrade to fully use this property. It also requires a Google Maps API key.

  • Secondary Address Info [Text] — this is where the user enters things like apartment number, suite number, or any additional address information.

🛒 Order Items

The Orders Items Collection shows both current and past orders. Current orders are shopping carts that have not been through checkout. Completed orders are those where the user has completed checkout and paid for their items.

Layout Settings

Each screen in the Social Media Feed Feature Template is created using responsive design. The screens will look good on any device or tablet.

Most screens have been designed with Custom Layouts. If you add a new component to a screen, you might notice that the other screen sizes are impacted.

Layout Overview

To view or edit the layout for different screen sizes — click the Screen title to reveal the dropdown.

The default view for this template is Desktop. When you change the screen size for one screen in the Builder, it does not change the screen size of the rest of the screens on the canvas.

Hidden Components

In each view, there may be components that do not appear on Desktop, but are visible on Mobile. These are grayed out in the lefthand panel & denoted with an icon.

Another way to view which device components are visible on is the Layout Tab here:

Custom Layout

Some components come with custom layouts based on screen size. To view those settings, check the Layout Tab & scroll to the Custom Layout Settings.
