Best way to organize app screens and data structure in Fliplet?

Hey everyone

I have recently started building an internal tool using Fliplet and loving how easy it is to get things running without much coding. However.., as my app grows, I am struggling a bit with organizing the app screens and managing the data sources efficiently.

I currently have around 7–8 screens, and I’m using a few custom data sources to store user info and form submissions. It’s getting a little messy to keep track of which screen connects to what, and I’m worried about scaling later.

Does anyone have tips or best practices for:

Structuring screens logically

Managing multiple data sources without confusion

Linking screens in a way that’s easy to maintain

Would love to hear how more experienced builders here handle this! :raising_hands:

I already searched on the web for the solution related to my problem and got this blog https://fliplet.com/blog/how-to-build-a-custom-app-without-coding-power-bi-course-in-pune

but couldn’t get enough help.

Thanks in advance !!

Hello Marcello, thanks for your question!

We also have a How to manage data sources article that has helpful tips.

Key tip: You can use a single data source to collect multiple types of information. You have control over which data users can update, what information is displayed, and how each form or list from data source interacts with that data source. This approach is typically more effective than managing multiple similar data sources, as it simplifies maintenance and enhances consistency.

For example, if you have a list of users and a list of the businesses or organizations they’re associated with, instead of putting this into two separate data sources, you can combine them into one. Then, use the form and list from data source components to control what users can see and what they’re allowed to edit.
