Guide
On a Table View each Entity is represented as a row.
Tables are handy for quick editing and are very familiar view to work with Databases.
How to Add table view to a space?
Put mouse cursor on a Space and click + icon.
Select Table from the menu.
When naming Table Views, we’re removing the additional words in column names, and using only the original Field name. So, “Avatars of Assignees” will be “Assignees”, “Progress (progress bar)” becomes “Progress”, etc.
Configure rows and columns view
Click Rows in the top menu to select a database to be visualized as rows on Table View.
Click Columns to add several columns into Table View.
You can enable existing fields as columns, or you can add new fields as well.
You may created hierarchical Table as well. For example, you have Product Area database that has Features and Insights collections. Select Product Area in Rows first, then click + Add level button below Product Area and add nested Databases: Features and Insights. It will look like this:
It's possible to visualize recursive relationships at any level in List, Table and Smart Folder. For example, if you have Product Areas (nested) and Features (nested), you can see them like this
Product Area 1
- Product Area 1-1
- Feature 1
- Feature 1-1
- Feature 1-2
- Feature 2
Product Area 2
- ...
Columns width is stored per user & per device. You may configure it also separately for web version and for desktop application.
Group by fields
Also, you can group entities at any level in Table View by relation, state, single- and multi-select fields. You can add groups to all levels, but only one group per-level is supported.
Add new entities
There are several ways to add a new Entities.
Click + New button in the top menu and new row will be added in the bottom of the Table.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Table and click on empty row.
Put a mouse cursor in any row and push Shift + Enter.
Right click on any row and click New option.
Open entities
Just click on a > icon in the first column and an Entity will be opened on the right. You can also use ↕️ arrows to navigate between Entities in a table. Make sure that a row has focus and use arrows to navigate.
Filter entities
You may filter Entities.
Click Filter in the top menu.
Select required properties and build filter conditions.
You can choose whether an Entity should be shown only if it matches all filters or if it matches any of the filters. It's not currently possible to use more complex logic in filters (e.g. if A and B or C).
Each Table has Global Filters and My Filters. Global Filters will be applied for all users, while My Filter is visible to you only.
You can also quickly find something on Table View, just use Cmd + F shortcut and type some keyword. This quick search works for Name, ID, numbers and other visible basic text fields.
Totals row for numeric fields
At the bottom of every numeric column in Table View, you can run calculations that will show you some aggregated information: Sum, Avg, Min, Max, Count.
Limitations: Totals are calculated only for expanded (visible) rows so far. So if you have groups, totals are not good yet.
Re-order columns
You may change the order of the columns. There are two ways do to it:
Just drag column to the left or right.

FAQ
Can I group rows?
Yes, you can group rows by relation, state, single- and multi-select fields.
Is it possible to wrap cell content?
Yes, it is wrapped if you set Row Height to Medium, Tall, or Extra Tall.
Why can’t I add a second level database using the "+ New" button in my nested view?
The main "+ New" button at the top of any view is "context-blind" - it is designed to create only the top-level entity of that specific view (e.g., a Project or a Feature). Because Fibery relies on relational integrity to build a hierarchy, a nested entity cannot be created from the global button because the system doesn't yet know which parent entity it should be linked to.
How do I add a new second-level items directly within a hierarchical view?
To add a nested entity without leaving your current view, you must provide the necessary context for the relation:
Hover over the specific parent entity (e.g., a Feature) in a List or Table view to reveal a small "+" icon that creates a Task already linked to that parent.
Right-click on a parent bar to open a menu that allows you to add a child entity directly underneath it.
Press "C" to open the entity creator from anywhere, though you will need to manually select the parent in the relation field afterward.
