Tables

Our tables are super-flexible and lightning fast. In their basic form, it's a view of a list of items, showing the fields as columns. Got a table in Word, Docs, Excel or Sheets? Just copy and paste it into a node, and it works!

But our tables in 🌊 Tana is the next generation table:
Never be annoyed by the constraints of a cell again, they never grow out of space. You just[ ↹ indent] a node under the existing node and use the zoom shortcut to dive deep.
You can easily add supertags to a whole column or row to quickly turn a list of names into e.g. #persons in the platform.
You can quickly add ⭐-ratings, ✅ checkboxes, dropdown menus, 🧮 formulas, and other features through our Fields-configure menu, choosing Fixed options.
You can go from list, to table, to card-view in seconds. A table is a living thing, ready to change for your context.
You can add real dates to the table, which in Tana is a feature, not just text.
Because you can view a live search as a table, you can enter rows from anywhere in your workspace - no need to navigate to the correct table.
Every table has it's own right-click on column menu
