7 tips how to manage data in tables
Part 4. UX of data tables. Today, let me give you my take on the topic of managing data in tables. So here is 7 tips I’ve put together for you 1️⃣Actions column Classic option. Most often placed at the end of the table. And remember these things 2️⃣Right click A very useful option is to provide actions menu on the right click. But be careful with touch devices and provide other options 3️⃣Actions panel A great option when you have selectable items in the table. Touch-friendly. 4️⃣Primary action + more button The primary action always has a visible button and other actions hides in “more” 5️⃣On hover Great space saver. As disadvantages are always blinking icons, not touch-friendly 6️⃣Multi-actions Action panel works great here. Show the number of selected items. Only common actions showed. As a bonus still show item specific actions icon. 7️⃣In-line edit Make it very easy to understand the record avaiable for edit, and how to exit and save. Hope that was helpful, drop me a comment! Thank you 👋
