# Create a database

> Create a blank database or start from a template, then add tables and fields.

Source: https://docs.formclick.io/databases/create-database

### Step 1: Open Databases

In the Formclick dashboard, select **Databases** in the sidebar.

### Step 2: Create a database

Choose **Blank database** for one empty table to start from scratch, or pick a template. Give it a name, and optionally a description and icon.

### Step 3: Add tables and fields

Add a table for each kind of thing you track (for example, Candidates and Open roles), then add fields to each table.

## Templates

| Template | What it sets up |
| --- | --- |
| CRM | Contacts, companies, leads and deals in one pipeline. |
| Project Management | Projects, tasks and who is working on what. |
| Customer Management | Customers, orders and interactions. |
| HR & Recruitment | Open roles, candidates, applications and employees. |
| Event Registration | Events, attendees and tickets. Pairs well with a registration form. |
| Inventory | Products, categories and stock movements. |
| Support Tickets | Customers, tickets and support agents. |

Templates are a starting point: rename, add or remove anything afterwards.

## Organise your databases

The Databases page lists every database in your account with its owner and last-modified time. You can sort, filter by workspace, duplicate a database, or archive it (archived databases can be restored).
