How to Create Connections in Knack

Steps Covered in This Video

1. Identify the parent and child relationship (e.g., Projects → Tasks).
   • Tasks are children of Projects, so the connection belongs in the Tasks table.
2. Navigate to the child table.
3. Click the Connection icon from the right panel.
4. Click + Add Connection.
5. Select the parent table (Projects).
6. Choose the relationship type — for example, Many-to-One (many Tasks connect to one Project).
7. Name your connection field or keep the default (e.g., Project) and set the format to Search Dropdown.
8. Click Submit to add the connection field.

👉 You only need one connection field. Even though it’s added in the child table, you can still view and display data in both directions.
