  • Smartsheet

Table view is a modern grid experience that makes managing work fast, easy, and collaborative.

Some of the features of table view include:

  • Continuous save and refresh for real-time collaboration
  • Column sorting is applied only for the individual user
  • Searched terms or data appear highlighted on the sheet for you to scroll through
  • Save additional filters to easily find your data

Table view versus grid view

Table view is newly released and continues to evolve. We're actively improving it, so stay tuned for updates and enhancements 

Depending on your sheet's needs, you can switch between table and grid views to complete your work.
