# Grid

> Display records in rows and columns for structured viewing, editing, and data cleanup.

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:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the view sidebar">
    Go to the target table and open the view list on the left.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a view">
    Click `+` at the top of the view sidebar and choose **Grid view**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name and save">
    Enter a view name, set the collaboration mode if needed, and create the view.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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 |

Hidden fields only change the current view. They do not delete fields or record data.

### 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

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/teablecn/jEnUUdkBJLjaocXx/images/docs/base/2026-05-26-grid-selection-statistics.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=jEnUUdkBJLjaocXx&q=85&s=5324a9343f67c6aaa6e2d7d76dafe669" alt="Grid view selection statistics" className="docs-screenshot" width="1600" height="915" data-path="images/docs/base/2026-05-26-grid-selection-statistics.png" />

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.
