Data Types in Adalo | A No Code App Builder Tutorial

In this no-code app builder tutorial, we discuss the various data types available within the Adalo Collections.

A data type is a specific kind of data item that is defined by the values it can take or the operations that can be performed on it. For example, using a text property vs. a number property in Adalo means you can manipulate that data differently.

In this video, we review each of our data types & explain the importance of choosing the right data type to hold your information in order to make the most of it in your no-code app.

Below are the following data types available within an Adalo collection:
Text
Number
True/False
Date & Time
Date
Image
File
Location
One-to-Many Relationship
Many-to-One Relationship
Many-to-Many Relationship

We do not go into detail about the Location property type or the relational property types in this video, as they are more complex and will have their own unique videos.

To learn more about each data type, check out these various timestamps:

Understanding data types is just one of the many important concepts to understand when creating an app without code. The data inside your app is what powers the user experience: from applying conditional visibility, to firing conditional actions — your database with serve as the foundation of your mobile or web app.
