Что такое databases?
A database in BusyBee.Day is a tabular content type with rows and columns, formulas, and relations. Unlike a task list, it is meant for structured data that does not have a status or due date - records, lookups, and metrics. Unlike a spreadsheet, it has typed fields and can link to tasks and other databases.
