Table

Description

The Table component isn't just about presenting data in neat rows and columns.

It can be a powerful tool for enhancing user experience, streamlining data entry, and even adding a touch of visual appeal to your forms.

Tables provide a structured format for organizing related data within a form. Users can easily scan information, compare options, and make informed choices.

Use Case

1. Structure and Flexibility
2. Enhanced User Experience
3. Streamlined Data Entry

Interactivity

1. Beyond static data display, tables can incorporate interactive elements like checkboxes, dropdown menus, and input fields directly within cells, streamlining data entry and eliminating the need for multiple form sections.
2. Integration with buttons or actions can enable bulk editing, selection, or removal of entries within the table, saving users time and effort.
3. Integrating interactive elements like drag-and-drop reordering or row customization can increase user engagement and make data manipulation more intuitive.
4. Interactive Data Entry
