NocoBase is a data-modeling-first no-code platform: you define collections, it generates the admin interface, and plugins add workflows, charts, and integrations. On your OpenSysLab server, all of that lives in files and a Postgres database your vibe-code agent can read and modify. Instead of clicking through settings yourself, you describe the job in the Open WebUI chat and watch the agent do it. Here are ten everyday jobs worth delegating.

1. Create a New Collection with the Right Fields

Everything in NocoBase starts with a collection — the equivalent of a database table. Telling the agent what you need beats clicking through the field dialog, especially when the collection has ten or more fields with types, defaults, and constraints. The agent reads your existing collections first so names and relations stay consistent, then builds the new one. Try: “Create an Assets collection with a unique text field asset tag, a date field purchase date, a money field purchase price, a select field status with options Active, In Repair, Retired, and a many-to-one relation to Employees called assigned to.” It will show you what it created and where to find it in the admin UI.

2. Build an Admin Page from Blocks

NocoBase pages are assembled from blocks: tables, forms, details, kanban, charts, and more. Asking the agent to assemble a page is faster than dragging blocks around when you already know what should be on screen. Describe the page and the blocks, and the agent can configure them through the plugin settings API. For example: “Build a page called Customer 360 with a details block showing the customer record, a table block below listing that customer’s orders, and a form block to add a new order for that customer.” You can refine filters, sorts, and visible fields afterwards just by asking.

3. Set Up a Kanban for Your Pipeline

If you track deals, tickets, or tasks, a kanban grouped by status is the fastest way to see workload at a glance. The agent can add the select field if it is missing, create the page, drop in a kanban block, and confirm that dragging a card updates the record. Ask: “Add a kanban page for the Deals collection grouped by stage with five stages — Lead, Qualified, Proposal, Negotiation, Won — and make moving a card update the stage field.” A ten-minute chat instead of an afternoon of configuration, and you can ask for a Won-by-month chart on the same page while it is at it.

4. Link Two Collections with a Relation

Related data is where spreadsheets break and NocoBase shines. Rather than storing customer names as plain text in an Orders collection, you want a real relation so records stay connected. The agent can add one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many fields and backfill existing rows so nothing dangles. Useful example: “Link Orders to Customers as many-to-one, and show the customer’s open orders count on the customer details page.” It will check the current data first, warn you about rows that match no customer, and propose a cleanup before it wires anything.

5. Import a CSV and Map the Columns

Moving data from a spreadsheet into NocoBase means matching columns to fields and cleaning values that do not fit. The agent can inspect the CSV, propose the field mapping, create missing fields, run a small import, and verify row counts before importing the rest. Say: “Import /tmp/customers.csv into the Customers collection, map the CSV columns to fields, create any missing fields as text except email which should be email type, and report how many rows failed.” It handles the boring parts — date formats, select values that need adding, trimming whitespace — and shows you a sample of what landed.

6. Add a Formula or Rollup Field

Computed fields save you from exporting data just to do arithmetic. NocoBase supports formula fields for calculations on the same record and rollup-style aggregation across relations. The agent knows the expression syntax and can test it against real rows. Ask: “Add a formula field line total to Order Items that multiplies quantity by unit price, and a rollup on Orders that sums the line totals of its items.” You get the computed values everywhere — table blocks, filters, exports — without a single manual export to a spreadsheet.

7. Configure Roles and Permissions

As soon as someone else logs in, you need roles: who sees which collections, who can edit, who can only view. The permission matrix is powerful but tedious to click through. Describe your team structure and let the agent translate it into role settings. Example: “Create a Sales role that can read and create Deals and Customers but only edit Deals they created, and hide the Finance collection from them entirely.” It will set the role, walk you through the resulting access in plain language, and you can test by impersonating the role before handing out invites.

8. Save a Filtered View for Daily Work

Most days you open the same pages and apply the same filters: my open tickets, this month’s orders, deals closing soon. Saved filters mean zero setup each morning. The agent can add default filters and sorts to the blocks you already use. Try: “On the Orders page, add a saved view This month that filters orders created after the first of the current month, sorted newest first, and set it as the default.” Small thing, but it removes a daily ritual of clicks for everyone on the team.

9. Put Validation Rules on Fields

Bad data gets in one lazy entry at a time. Required fields, unique constraints, and regex patterns on text fields stop that at the source. The agent can add constraints and, more usefully, check what existing data would fail them. Ask: “Make email required and unique on Customers, require phone numbers to match an international format, and list any existing rows that violate these rules so I can fix them.” Getting the violation list before enforcing the rule is the difference between a clean fix and a blocked form.

10. Run a Data Health Check

After a few months of use, every database drifts: duplicate customers, orders pointing at nothing, deals stuck in stages that no longer exist. The agent can query the database directly and give you a plain-language report. Say: “Check for duplicate customers by email, orders whose customer no longer exists, and deals in stages not in the current stage list — then summarize what you found and propose fixes before changing anything.” Read-only first, fixes only with your approval: that is the right order for anything that touches production data.

None of these jobs need a developer. They need someone — or something — willing to do the clicking. Your agent does the clicking, you keep the judgment. Start with one collection or one page and get a feel for how far a plain-language request goes. See NocoBase on OpenSysLab for the preinstalled server this runs on.
