# Configuring Table Data Source ## Content ## Data Source Mode The **Table** tab allows you to configure how a table retrieves and synchronizes its data. A table can operate in either: * **Remote mode** – Data is loaded from HTTP endpoints. * **Local mode** – Data is embedded directly in the table configuration. Only one mode is active at a time. ### Remote Mode Remote mode connects the table to one or more HTTP endpoints. #### Configuring the Read Endpoint The **Read** section defines how the table loads data. You can configure: * **HTTP Method** (GET) * **URL** * **Request Headers** * **Format** * **Data Path** * **Auto Sync** ![image](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/image-20260421.8f9883.png?width=400) #### Request Headers Request headers allow you to customize the HTTP request sent to the server. The **Headers** section is collapsed by default. To configure request headers, click the **Settings** icon ![Local Data Setup.svg](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/Local%20Data%20Setup-20260421.0d3880.svg) next to the URL field to expand the headers panel. Click the icon again to collapse it. To configure headers: 1. Use the **Add (+)** button to insert a new header row. 2. Select or enter a header name in the **Name** field. 3. Enter the header value in the **Value** field. 4. Use the delete icon ![image](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/image-20260409.861d85.png?width=18) to remove a header. Common header names (such as `Authorization` or `X-API-Key`) are available in the dropdown list, but you can enter any custom header name as needed. ![headers.gif](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/headers-20260421.a3840a.gif?width=800) >type=note > Only rows that contain both a name and a value are applied to the request. Empty or incomplete rows are ignored. #### Auto Sync When **Auto Sync** is enabled, the table automatically synchronizes data changes with the configured remote endpoints. For details about synchronization behavior, refer to the Data Manager section in *Features*. ### Local Mode Local mode allows you to embed data directly into the table configuration instead of loading it from a remote endpoint. To configure local data: 1. Click the **Local Data Setup** button ![Local Data Setup.svg](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/Local%20Data%20Setup-20260421.f03011.svg) next to the URL field. 2. In the Local Data Setup dialog: 1. Select a Format (JSON, CSV, XML, or Column JSON). 2. Upload a file, or paste data directly into the editor. 3. Optionally use the **Format Local Data** button ![format local data.svg](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/format%20local%20data-20260421.66776e.svg) to improve readability. 3. Click OK to apply the data. ![LocalData.gif](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/LocalData-20260421.a1152d.gif?width=800) >type=note > When Local mode is enabled: > > * Remote endpoint settings are disabled. > * Row Operations and Column Operations are unavailable. > * The table stores the data within its configuration. To switch back to Remote mode, click Reset local to remote mode in the dialog. This clears the embedded data and restores remote configuration. ![reset.gif](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/reset-20260421.d6e751.gif?width=800) ## Schema Configuration (Mode‑Independent) ### Data Format The **Format** option defines how the response data is interpreted. The following formats are supported: * **JSON** * **CSV** * **XML** * **Column JSON** Select the format that matches the structure of the server response. **Remote Mode** ![image](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/image-20260421.af7938.png?width=350) **Local Mode** ![image](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/image-20260421.3866c8.png?width=350) ### Data Path The **Data Path** option specifies where the main data collection is located within the parsed response. * If a Data Path is provided, the Data Manager retrieves the data collection from the specified property of the parsed result. * If no Data Path is specified, the entire parsed response object is used as the data source. Use this option when the server response wraps the data array inside another object. ![datapath.gif](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/datapath-20260421.1faab3.gif?width=800) ### Window The **Window** section allows you to define window-based configurations used by the table. You can: * Add a window definition * Specify a name * Define a formula Window definitions are applied as part of the table’s data behavior. ![window.gif](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/window-20260421.90f41f.gif?width=800) For conceptual details about window definitions, refer to the Data Manager documentation in *Features*. ## Remote Submission Configuration (Remote‑Only) When the table operates in **Remote mode**, you can configure endpoints for submitting data changes to the server. Each operation is configured in a dedicated section with the same structure: * **HTTP method** * **URL** * **Optional Request Headers** The headers panel behaves the same way as in the Read configuration. ### Row Operations The **Row Operations** section defines how row-level changes are sent to the server. You can configure separate endpoints for: * Update * Create * Delete * Batch Each operation is configured independently. These endpoints are triggered when row data changes are submitted. ![image](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/image-20260421.0ca800.png?width=350) ### Column Operations The **Column Operations** section defines how column-level changes are synchronized with the server. You can configure endpoints for: * **Get Columns** * **Update Column** * **Create Column** * **Delete Column** Each operation follows the same configuration pattern as Row Operations. This section is available only in Remote mode. ![image](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/b2223940-43c2-44cf-8eda-f5ab9acd84f0/image-20260421.471957.png?width=350)
