Table

Tables help make complex information easier to scan and compare. Use tables for exact values or information that would be hard to read in body text.

Tables are used to scan for information and compare values. They are useful for displaying exact values or information that would be hard to read in body text.

For data tables with a small amount of rows, use the default table. Align text columns and corresponding data cells to the left. When comparing numbers in a column, align data cells and column headers to the right.

Do

  • use for datasets with more than 2 columns
  • use for tabular data - not layouts
  • provide a meaningful caption (heading), or use aria-labelledby to reference a heading
  • keep row heights small
  • use a simple table structure - complex tables are difficult to navigate
  • avoid complex tables by splitting the data into simple, seperate tables
  • avoid empty table headers
  • use Pagination to break up tables with many rows
  • align text left and numeric data right
  • only include text, tags, links, actions and status badges as content
  • only use dropdown menu if you require three or more actions in a table cell
  • always use a label on the dropdown menu button
  • use a human readable format for numeric data – for example, 1,234,000 instead of 12340000
  • allow row sorting by using TableHeaderSortable.

Don’t

  • repeat information across cells. If each cell has the same content, add it as the column header – for example, Width (cm)
  • use if a list, paragraph of text or diagram will work
  • use to summarise form collection data - use a Summary list
  • add lists, diagrams or images
  • use a combination of actions in table cells and actions in dropdown menus together in the same table row
  • put form inputs in table cells - use an action in a cell to open a drawer or navigate to another page instead
  • have too many rows. Use pagination or start another table where logical – for example, an alphabetical list, Table 1: A to D, Table 2: E to H and so on
  • use bespoke styling – follow consistent layouts and styles
  • nest tables inside tables
  • use inside an accordion
  • use empty table headers unless spanning multiple columns and a header isn’t appropriate
  • set a row as invalid without adding a section alert.

Striped

Use zebra stripes for tables with complex information:

  • 4 or more rows
  • 3 or more columns
  • comparing important or similar information.

You can enable zebra stripes by applying the striped prop.

Custom column width

You can use custom widths based on the expected length of the data under each corresponding column.

Sortable columns

You can use the <TableHeaderSortable> component to make columns sortable. This component is a wrapper around the TableHeader component and adds the necessary aria attributes to make the column sortable.

It is important to add <VisuallyHidden> text in the table’s caption to explain the purpose of the TableHeaderSortable buttons. This reduces confusion for screen reader users who may not understand their significance when focusing them.

You can see a working example of this component in the Search filters patterns.

Labels and headings

A Table must have some form of caption or heading to describe the data it contains. This can be done using the TableCaption component, or referencing a heading using aria-labelledby.

Wide tables

When a table is too wide for its container, a custom scrollbar will be rendered. This scrollbar also sticks to the bottom of the screen when the bottom of the table is off-screen, so users can still easily scroll the table regardless of which rows they’re looking at.

‘colSpan’ and ‘rowSpan’

Some tables require cells which represent multiple rows or columns. Instead of repeating the spanning data each time, you can use the colSpan and rowSpan props to specify how a specific cell spans multiple columns and rows, respectively.

Actions

The actions associated with each table row (e.g. ‘Edit’, ‘Delete’, ‘Download’) should always be positioned in the last column, beneath the table header labeled ‘Actions’.

If rows contain three or more actions, they can instead be replaced with a Dropdown menu containing these actions.

To ensure the accessible name of each row’s actions is unique, associate them with an aria-describedby that points to the id of the primary, unique identifier for that row.

Links that open a page to view a record or more information should be located in the first column, be labelled with a unique identifier, and display as bold text.

Selectable with batch actions

Selectable tables allow users to select one or more rows simultaneously and perform batch actions against the selected items.

For more information, read the Selectable tables with batch actions pattern.

Open in Playroom, opens in a new tab
() => {
	const [selectedRows, setSelectedRows] = React.useState([]);

	function toggleRowSelection(rowIndex) {
		if (selectedRows.includes(rowIndex)) {
			setSelectedRows((r) => r.filter((s) => s !== rowIndex));
		} else {
			setSelectedRows((r) => [...r, rowIndex]);
		}
	}

	const anyRowsChecked = selectedRows.length > 0;
	const allRowsChecked = selectedRows.length === 3;

	function toggleAllRows() {
		if (anyRowsChecked) {
			setSelectedRows([]);
		} else {
			setSelectedRows([0, 1, 2]);

Indicating an invalid row

To indicate an error in a row containing an action, set the invalid prop to true. This should be accompanied by a section alert.

Open in Playroom, opens in a new tab
