    • Base - A base is a collection of data in Airtable, designed to contain all of the information a user needs for a project or workflow. 

    • Table - A table holds information about one type of item — for example, products, projects, tasks, campaigns. Each base needs at least one table. Individual tables appear as their own tabs in a base.
