Introduction to table view

Use table view to manage projects, tasks, and data efficiently in a modern grid experience.

Who can use this?

Plans:

  • Smartsheet

Switching views in Smartsheet doesn't affect your underlying sheet data. Views only change how your sheet displays data, formulas, and automations. 


Why table view?

Table view allows you to manage large and complex workflows, collaborate in real time, and maintain performance while changes get autosaved. AI features let you ask questions about your sheet in plain language. 

Table view evolves weekly. Stay tuned for updates and enhancements, release notes, and Smartsheet community posts.
