Tables on boards

Tables are useful when the audience needs exact values, not only trends.

When a table adds value

Use a table on a board when people need row-level review, variance detail, or supporting context for a chart.

Do not place the full model on a board. Use the board table to show the subset of fields, dimensions, and time periods that explain the decision.

If the same filtered slice also needs to live outside the board, embed a view instead of rebuilding the table definition in several places.

A table is easier to read when the board also includes a KPI or chart that explains why the table is being shown.
