Work with tables

Use Tables for structured information: inventories, lightweight databases, trackers, registers, and repeatable lists.

Open Tables​

Click Tables in the top navigation.

Tables app

Choose a document​

  1. Open an existing table document from the list.
  2. Use search if the workspace has many documents.
  3. Create a new document when the information needs its own structure.

Use Tables when every row represents the same type of thing. Use a document when the information is mostly prose.

Add records​

  1. Open the table.
  2. Add a row.
  3. Fill each column.
  4. Use consistent values for status, owner, dates, and categories.

Consistent values make filtering and sorting useful later.

Filter and sort​

Use filters to narrow the table to records you need now. Use sorting to compare dates, owners, priorities, or names.

Before changing many rows, clear filters so you do not accidentally miss hidden records.
