Getting started
This guide helps a new user go from zero to a working Brandow Storage workspace in under 15 minutes.
1) Create your account and sign in
- Go to the sign-up page.
- Create your account.
- Confirm your email if prompted.
- Sign in and continue to setup.
2) Create or join a company workspace
Brandow Storage organizes data by company workspace.
- If you are creating a new workspace: follow the setup flow and name your company.
- If you were invited: open your invite link and accept it after sign-in.
Once complete, you will land in /d (the dashboard area).
3) Create your first Table
You have two fast paths:
Option A: AI table creation (recommended for first-time use)
- Open the table creation flow.
- Describe what you need in plain language.
- Review generated columns and adjust names/types.
- Create the Table.
Prompt example:
Create a customer support ticket table with:
- Ticket Number (text)
- Customer Name (text)
- Priority (single select: Low, Medium, High)
- Status (single select: Open, In Progress, Resolved)
- Due Date (date)
- Assigned To (text)
Option B: CSV import
- Upload a CSV file.
- Let AI infer columns/types.
- Review and fix anything that looks off.
- Confirm import.
4) Add your first Rows
For any Table, click to add a Row. You can:
- Enter data manually
- Use AI Insert to pre-fill fields from a short description
Example:
Ticket from Sarah Lee. Login broken since this morning. Priority high. Due Friday.
AI will suggest values for matching columns. Always review before saving.
5) Use Smart AI Insert (cross-table)
Smart AI Insert is useful when you do not want to manually choose the destination Table first.
- Start Smart AI Insert.
- Paste text or upload a relevant image.
- AI picks the best matching Table.
- Review mapped values.
- Confirm to create the Row.
6) Invite your team
Open Team settings and send invites by email. Invitees can:
- Sign up then accept invite
- Sign in then accept invite
- Accept directly when already signed in
7) Set role and permission defaults
At minimum:
- Keep one trusted Owner
- Use Admin for daily operations
- Use custom roles for least-privilege access to sensitive Tables
First-week checklist
- [ ] Create 2 to 4 production Tables
- [ ] Add clear column descriptions for important fields
- [ ] Import historical data (if available)
- [ ] Create at least one custom security role
- [ ] Invite teammates and verify access boundaries
- [ ] Test Ask AI on real Table data
- [ ] Capture top friction points for improvement
Common early mistakes to avoid
- Creating too many fields before validating the workflow with real Rows
- Using inconsistent naming across similar Tables
- Giving broad edit access before defining role boundaries
- Skipping data review after AI-generated suggestions
