About TYPO3 Dataviewer Core Extension

Build easy and intuitive TCA-powered records with customizable backend forms on the fly without any programming knowledge. You can create datatypes and select from a list of plugins to display your created records.

This extension is a easy to use data structure builder that saves you a lot of time, because there is no more need of creating an extension for every need. Great solutions can be done by just a few clicks and fluid templating.
