Build tables inside dashboard text widgets

Dashboard text widgets can now hold tables. A new table component lets you lay out tabular information directly on the dashboard, without pulling in a separate view or chart.

A full table editor in the text widget​

Insert a table from the text widget toolbar, then click any cell to open its menu. The editor gives you everything you need to shape the table:

  • add or delete rows: Add row above, Add row below, Delete row
  • add or delete columns: Add column left, Add column right, Delete column
  • turn the first row into a styled Header row (toggle on or off)
  • Merge cells to combine a selection into one cell, and Split cell to undo it
  • Delete table to remove the whole table

Cell contents use the same rich-text formatting as the rest of the widget, so you can make text bold or italic, add links, and align values cell by cell.

Why this matters​

Some information is easiest to read as a small, structured table: a comparison, a legend, a short checklist next to a chart. Until now that meant building a separate view or pasting in an image. The table component keeps it inline and editable, so you can structure and compare information directly inside the dashboard.
