A structured way to display and interact with organized data, with options for selection, expansion, sorting and custom cell content.

Purpose

DataTables are an effective way to structure and present information in a clear and organized manner. These tables can be customized to include additional features, providing users with the flexibility to interact with and manipulate the data as needed for their specific use cases.

When to use

  • To display an overview of data.
  • For organizing and presenting data clearly.
  • When users need to quickly locate a specific data point to complete a task.

When not to use

  • When there is insufficient data to populate at least two rows.
  • When the content cannot follow a consistent pattern or be organized into columns.
  • When presenting complex data that doesn't fit well in a table format — consider using an infographic or a non-table layout to better convey the information.
