Grid view is the most common view in Teable. Each record appears as a row, and each field appears as a column. Use it for daily data entry, bulk editing, sorting, filtering, and quick checks.
Use Cases
| Scenario | Recommended setup |
|---|
| Maintain data day to day | Enter, edit, copy, and paste records directly in the grid |
| Clean up many records | Combine filters, groups, sorts, and hidden fields |
| Check numeric data | Use selection statistics for average, filled count, and sum |
| Work with wide tables | Freeze key columns so identifying fields stay visible |
Create a Grid View
Every new table includes a grid view by default. To create another grid view for a specific workflow:
Open the view sidebar
Go to the target table and open the view list on the left.
Create a view
Click + at the top of the view sidebar and choose Grid view.
Name and save
Enter a view name, set the collaboration mode if needed, and create the view.
Display Settings
Manage Field Display
| Action | Description |
|---|
| Hide fields | Click Hidden fields in the toolbar and turn fields on or off |
| Reorder fields | Drag field headers left or right |
| Find fields | Search field names in the hidden fields panel when the table has many fields |
Adjust Row Height and Field Name Height
Click Row height in the toolbar to adjust the display density of the table view.
- Row height: Choose Short, Medium, Tall, or Extra tall to adjust record row height.
- Field name: Choose 1 line, 2 lines, or 3 lines to control the display height of column names in the table header.
Freeze Columns
When a table has many fields, freeze key columns so they stay visible while you scroll horizontally.
- Drag the freeze divider to freeze the columns on its left.
- Right-click a field header and choose Freeze up to this field to freeze that field and all fields to its left.
Edit and Review Data
Edit and Work in Bulk
- Edit a cell: Click any cell and enter or change content.
- View long content: Double-click a cell, or select it and press Space, to open the full content.
- Fill by dragging: Drag the fill handle at the bottom-right corner of a selected cell to copy values downward.
Selection Statistics
When you select a range of cells, Teable shows Average, Filled, and Sum for numeric values. Use this for quick checks on amounts, counts, and scores.
Notes
- Hidden fields, sorting, filtering, grouping, and similar settings apply only to the current view.
- To prevent accidental configuration changes, lock the view. Only users with permission can unlock or change it.
