TinyTables in the platform
Access tables from Assets → Tables

This guide walks you through creating a table, adding columns, entering data, and using different views.

Create a table

  1. Click Table in the Quick Actions, or go to Assets → Tables
  2. Choose a template (CRM Contacts, Sales Pipeline, Content Calendar, Project Tracker) or start empty
  3. You'll land in the Grid view, a spreadsheet-like interface

Add columns

Click the + button at the end of the column header row. Choose from 37 column types:

  • Short Text: single line of text
  • Number: numeric values with formatting
  • Single Select: dropdown with color-coded options
  • Date & Time: date picker with optional time
  • File Upload: attach documents, images, files
  • AI Column: AI-generated content based on a prompt and other columns

Each column has a configuration panel with options for name, type, default value, and type-specific settings.

Enter data

Click any cell to edit it. Type values directly, or use the field-specific editors:

  • Select fields: click to open dropdown, pick from options or create new ones
  • Date fields: click to open calendar picker
  • File fields: click to open file upload dialog
  • Rating fields: click stars/icons to set the value

Add rows

  • Click + Add row at the bottom of the grid
  • Or press Tab from the last cell to create a new row

Expand a record

Click the expand icon on any row to open the full record view: all fields displayed in a form layout with more space.

Switch views

Click the view tabs at the top to switch between views:

ViewBest for

Each view can have its own filter, sort, group, and hidden field settings; they don't affect other views.

Filter, sort, and group

Filter

Click the Filter button → add conditions → choose field, operator, and value. Nest conditions with AND/OR groups.

Sort

Click Sort → choose field and direction (ascending/descending). Add multiple sort levels.

Group

Click Group → choose a field to group by. Up to 3 levels deep. Groups can be collapsed/expanded.

AI features

AI Column

Add an AI-powered column that generates content for each row:

  1. Add a new column → select AI Column
  2. Write a prompt (e.g., "Summarize this company based on {name} and {description}")
  3. Select source columns the AI should reference
  4. Choose a model tier (Nano=1 credit, Mini=5, Pro=10, Max=20)
  5. Generate; the AI fills each cell

AI Chat

Click the AI chat icon to open the conversational sidebar. Ask questions about your data:

  • "How many deals are in the pipeline?"
  • "Filter for records created this week"
  • "Group by status and show totals"

The AI can apply filters, sorts, and groups automatically.

Comments

Click the comment icon on any row to add threaded comments. Features:

  • Reply to specific comments
  • Emoji reactions (6 types)
  • Edit/delete your own comments

Import and export

  • CSV Import: click Import → upload a CSV file → map columns
  • CSV Export: click Export → select columns → download
Tip

Start with a template if you're new. CRM Contacts or Project Tracker give you a pre-built structure with the right column types already configured.

Note

TinyTables is embeddable. You can embed a table view into any website using the embed URL from the share settings.
