📊 Miro Tables is live for all users! Share your questions and feedback here 🎉

​@Lisa Castelein - I have been loving Tables and the progress that has been made since first saw them live from NYC at Canvas ‘24!

What I have been longing for as of late:

• Sticky column header names while on the canvas (for all Formats - Docs, Tables, Slides, etc.) - see my wish list post here.
• Navigation between Tables (or any Formats) while in focus mode - I have been using all of the Formats and wish I could jump to another without having to first head back to the canvas (wish list post here).
• The Table name while in focus mode - While the column headers are sticky in focus mode, when I switch to focus mode, there is no Table name. For example, when using your above Table name of Q4 Product ideation, when in focus mode I lose context of which Table I am in:

One more smaller item that could be a nice “extra” is, if I create a new format directly from the dashboard, when the format and board are created and land on the board, when I rename the board from focus mode (and maybe if the format is still set as the default view and still has the default format name?) when the format is automatically named that of the board (similar to when creating a Google doc and renaming it, it automatically inherits text at the top of the document). 

Thanks again!

I love the synced views, sort option and hide fields option. In this way you don’t have the pain of duplicating and updating the same spread sheet for different audiences and have everything in one view.

Some feedback from my side: It would be great to have some simple calculate functions in the Tables feature (just like in Excel or Google Sheets) to get rid of manual calculation and entry.

I just created this Miro template using Tables (maybe this explains why simple calculate functions are desired): https://miro.com/miroverse/feature-prioritization-j4te8s0qqlfy7xwf/

Other feedback / needs are 

• I just can’t collaborate with guests, which is my biggest bug bear at the moment. 
• I need to be able to choose which properties to show in the timeline view, currently it’s just a giant coloured block with no data 
• Be great if the colour coding for the grouped data, flowed through to the timeline, so if I move a row into a new grouping, it takes on the colour of that group, rather than having to keep changing the colours 
• The speed of selecting properties in the table, I have to click into the field, then click again to choose an option 
• When dragging a Miro card into the table, I loose all of the rich text data, I’ve added to the Miro card - could the tables include the same rich data field ? 
• Images, images images, just to be able to have images in the table records, would be super helpful, I imagine a future where there is a kanban view too, and the images could show
• Links - it would be gratifying to be able to very quickly add links from objects in the table with drag and drop, so possibly two options, create as a new record, or create as a link to an object as a record ? (really great btw, being able to drag items straight in, thank you) 

These views are super helpful and a step forward for collaborators - thank you 

Not being able to copy paste text is a major downfall! Also when you flip to timeline - not being able to move your milestones down the line is a challenge - but i think someone else has flagged that. 

Hi!

I don’t know if it’s possible, but it would be super nice to have a kind of dashboard or personal home page that collect or display all the tables or some kind of structure information of where I have been assigned. Like a nested table where I have been assigned in all the tables or boards.

this could be the personal home and easily the hub to get what’s next or what’s most important to do or to keep track of.

So I have tried to work with tables for a prioritization exercise. The tables are very hard to work with if you want custom columns. I would have done this 10 times faster in Excel and with less frustration.  here is some specific feedback:

1. I cannot export my table to Excel to share it with others - This is the BIGGEST PAIN!!!
2. Also I cannot simply copy paste the whole table and move the content to excel - doing this alone is a hurdle as well
3. Due to the fact that everything is so spaced I see much less content in the view than I would in Excel and it is easy to lose track of stuff. 
4. I tried adding a new column with multi select multiple times - and I have clicked outside of the area by acccident and the input has disappeared, had to begin again 3 times!
5. There is no horizontal scroll marker making me wonder multiple times why I can only horizontal scroll with the trackpad, not the mouse.

I will not be using it again any time soon as it took me waay to much time to build the table.

I love tables, and would like to see a few features added:

• Miro canvas search can find data inside of a table, but it only selects the table as a result, not the specific item of the table that is a match. We use search a lot to find items quickly on a busy board, but it’s not helpful currently if the data is inside a table.
• For a large roadmap or table, using “Copy as image” uses too low of a resolution and the result is blurry and unusable. I know I can use the board Export function as a workaround, but making “Copy as image” work better would make it super easy to take a quick snapshot of a roadmap as a backup before a work session.
• Option to choose which dropdown attribute sets the item color in the roadmap view.
• Milestone improvements: Vertical placement, multiple milestones on the same date, and a longer length limit on the label text.
• Option for a “date is empty” filter on date columns. I’m not seeing a way to do that.
• When grouping and filtering by the same column, don’t show the grouping categories that have no records matching the filter. If I filter a roadmap to a couple of portfolios, I have to see as groupings the entire list of portfolios that are filtered out, making it less useful for sharing / viewing.
• +1 on Davy’s suggestion of a Kanban view, ideally based on the built-in Status column.

Amazing product, thank you for releasing Tables!

A couple more annoyances / bugs:

• When in focus mode, a long table doesn’t scroll to the actual bottom of the table, it cuts off early.
• The date selection popup is challenging to use: There is no option to move forward / backward by a full year, but you also can’t quickly click through months to a future month far ahead because the date popup is resized for certain months so the forward / backward arrows move up or down.

Great addition, thanks!

I have like the above comments where my experience resonates - in summary:

• Guests cannot update the table (top wish)
• Double click to select predefined values 
• Cannot copy and paste - a bit is a timewaster if you by accident typed into the wrong column 

I cannot switch between table and timeline. I cannot click on the table icon. The other way (from timeline to table) is also not possible for me.

What could be the reason?
