Body
I have lots of things to tell regarding this. I'm on chef for around a month, and I've spent tons of hours understanding how it works. And I'd say the official docs are just a disaster. They give everything in one place, although you don't need to know it in the begging. I can only offer you some resources like: <a href="http://learnchef.getharvest.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://learnchef.getharvest.com/</a> which is best ever introduction I've found around. All those official learnchef links didn't work out for me. I'd really recommend to stay away from <code>Vagrant</code> for a while, just buy a 5$ vps on DigitalOcean cloud and try this manual: <a href="http://adamcod.es/2013/06/04/deploy-a-basic-lamp-stack-digital-ocean-chef-solo.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://adamcod.es/2013/06/04/deploy-a-basic-lamp-stack-digital-ocean-chef-solo.html</a> Start with a <code>chef-solo</code> instead of <code>chef-server</code>, and try <code>knife-solo</code>. Use <code>berkshelf</code> although it's rarely mentioned in official docs, because <code>chef</code> can't handle cookbook dependencies although it can download cookbooks. then slowly start looking how I've automatized a <code>chef-server</code> installation: <a href="http://github.com/holms/chef-starter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://github.com/holms/chef-starter</a> This will give you an idea, which steps to take for <code>chef-server</code> setup, and how to deploy stuff with <code>knife</code>. After all that, try <code>vagrant</code>, as it offers to run everything from your desktop machine. I've started from <code>vagrant</code> and I've wasted too much time. When you put <code>chef-server</code> and <code>vagrant</code> together, you get tons of information which you just unable to handle. Lots of cave heats appears, lots of things to write.. you ending up wasting your 40 hours non-stop learning, without achieving your desired results. You can contact me on freenode irc if you need any help. I'd never wish this chef experience even to my enemy. Update: This is quite old comment :) So just ignore it. Ended up using vagrant+chef, then vagrant+ansible, now using docker. To be exact docker+traefik

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
