After setting up your data source, you can use Awesome Table to create your first app. This article shows how to create a Table app for the People Directory data source you created in the previous article.

Connect to the Awesome Table web app

To use Awesome Table, access the web app and create a profile.

Follow this link: https://app.awesome-table.com/.

Click one of the following:

Accept the permissions.

Create a blank app

Click the Create a new app button.

Select your data source

Click the Select a spreadsheet button (or the Select a Workbook button if you're working in Microsoft Excel).

Select your data source.

• Google Drive
• SharePoint (Office 365)
• OneDrive (Outlook.com)

Select the required sheet in your data source

When you choose your data source, the Create new app dialogue opens:

• Select the required sheet.
  That is the tab at the bottom of your spreadsheet containing all the data for your Awesome Table app. Your spreadsheet can contain several sheets, but you can only select one.
• Make sure the range includes all the columns you want to have in your app. 
  When you select the sheet, Awesome Table detects which columns contain data and fills in the Range values.

• Microsoft Excel for Office 365

In the Create new app dialogue, you can also:

Adjust the settings of your Table app

Your new Table app opens! When you create a new app, the default app type is Table.

Adjust the settings:

• Open App configuration.
• Under Visualization type, the app type Table is selected. In this tutorial, we're creating a Table app, so leave the default. You can take a look at the other types of app available.
• If required, limit the number of rows displayed on each page of your app: enter 4 under # of items displayed.
• Under Layout, leave the default option Filters, chart. That means that the filters you add in step 3 of this tutorial will appear at the top of your People Directory.
• Click Update app.

Your new Table app should look like this:

It doesn't look like our end product yet, but the next article explains how to use filters and keywords to customize the way your data is displayed.
