Carbon Design System – Data table

Data tables are crucial components in user interfaces, allowing for the efficient organization and display of data. These versatile tools offer a range of features that cater to users’ diverse needs, from sorting and filtering to selection and expansion.

The data table’s core is its ability to present information clearly and structuredly. The column headers provide a visual cue for the type of data being displayed, while the rows allow users to quickly scan and locate specific information. The table’s formatting options, including row size variations and consistent header-row alignment, ensure a cohesive and visually appealing presentation.

Beyond the basic functionality, the data table component offers several advanced features that enhance the user experience. The selectable variant enables users to perform actions on individual or multiple rows, streamlining workflows and increasing efficiency. Conversely, the expandable variant allows users to progressively disclose additional information, making it easier to manage large datasets within a compact space.
