Embedding Overview

Introduction​

AITable supports different types of view (Grid, Kanban, Gantt, and Gallery View) to present and edit data. Additionally, there are dashboard and widgets in AITable allowing you to visualize data in a few easy steps and help you generate business insights.

Embedding, a functiion that helps you integrate all the features above into your internal systems in a flexible way, can be used in many cases. For example:

  • Create a product gallery using AITable, and then embed it into another web pages, blogs, and various systems.
  • Embed a Gantt chart into the project document via iframe tag to manage projects.
  • Embed and integrate the datasheets into internal systems to efficiently build customized business management systems.

Concepts​

What is embedding?​

It refers to embedding a AITable datasheet into another various web pages such as online documents and enterprise's internal systems to let related collaborators be able to view and edit the data in the current web page without navigation.

In addition to being available for browser to access, a public link of a datasheet can also be embedded into third-party web pages via <iframe> tag.

You can directly paste the link into some online web applications, and the page referenced by the link will be automatically recognized and loaded. The web applications supporting embedding include Notion, Wolai, Lark and so on.

Custom embedding​

You can use API to create a special embedded link for a datasheet, which provides you with configuration parameters to cutomize the web page embedded as your wish.

By performing custom embedding and choosing which elements and theme color of the datasheet are going to be displayed, you can obtain a web page with harmonious style, and constrain the data range to ensure data security.
