Tables and Charts

Tables and charts

Organize data in tables and charts. Beta 4 has basic tables from Phase 4, and smart tables, charts, formulas, and alternative views from Phase 7. Everything except start-up is untested by hand, so check the test checklist before you rely on a feature.

Tables

Feature	Status
Basic tables	Built. Rows and columns of text in a page.
Smart tables	Built. Columns can be text, numbers, dates, checkboxes, or other types.
Sorting and filters	Built. Sort on several columns, and filter rows.
Formulas and totals	Built. Formulas in cells, calculated columns, and a totals row.
Paste from Excel or CSV	Built. Paste data into a smart table.
Board, calendar, gallery, and timeline	Built. Show the same rows in other views. Dragging a card changes its field.
Quick math	Built. Add numbers at the bottom of a column.

All views share the same rows, so a chart made from the table stays in step. The app can sort and redraw a 1,000-row table with its chart within 100 ms.

Charts

Feature	Status
Bar, line, area, pie, and scatter charts	Built. Make one from a table in two clicks.
Live updates	Built. The chart updates when the table changes.
Accessible colors	Built. Charts use the brand palette, with patterns for readers who can't tell colors apart.
Vector export	Built. Charts export as sharp vector graphics in PDF.
Accessible charts	Built. Charts work with screen readers.
Chart tables	Built. Turn cells into a table.

The brand palette and patterns ensure charts are readable to everyone.

Accessible charts

Planned for Phase 7. Every chart gets an editable text summary of its type, axes, range, trend, and highest and lowest values. Arrow keys step through data points and read their values. "Show as table" is always one click away.

Diagrams and mind maps

Planned for Phase 7.

Feature	What it does
Diagrams from text	A short text description draws a flowchart, sequence diagram, timeline, or class diagram on your device. Editing the text redraws it.
Mind maps	Type an outline and see a mind map, or build the map with the keyboard or pen. Tab adds a child branch and Enter adds a sibling.
Shape libraries	Shapes can hold text, and libraries add flowchart, network, and entity diagram shapes

Diagrams export as vector graphics and carry alt text.
