Inspect tables and rows
Select the right environment, review saved records safely, and verify that your app stores the information you expect.
Use Runtime to confirm that an app action produced the record you expected. The data browser shows the accepted schema and current rows for an available data authority; it is an inspection surface, not a general row editor.
Select the right data authority
Open Runtime and Data, then choose the Data authority you tested: Development data, Staging data, or Production data, when available. Live shared data means development and production currently use the same authority.
If rows are unavailable, check your Workspace role and whether the accepted schema is ready. Investigate with fictional development records.
Find and compare one record
Complete one journey with distinctive safe values and note its time. In View controls, select the table that owns the record. Use filters, sorting, visible columns, and row pagination to narrow the result.
Compare the row with both ends of the journey:
- Check that the saved values match what the person entered.
- Refresh the app and reopen the screen that reads the record.
- Confirm that the displayed values match the row.
This distinguishes a failed save from a display or filtering problem. A row existing is not enough if the app cannot retrieve it correctly.
Understand protected values
Some cells appear as Redacted because the value is sensitive. Large values may appear as Omitted with their size. Runtime does not reveal these values through the table view. Verify their effect through the app, or use a safe test value and the owning workflow; do not copy production data into a prompt to work around masking.
If a record is missing, confirm the selected authority, successful completion of the action, active filters, and the owning table before retrying. Also check whether validation rejected the request or access rules hide it from the app.
Finally, submit invalid input and confirm it creates no misleading row. When access rules apply, repeat the read with a second account and while signed out.
