Column Data Type

Text

Use Text for names, titles, descriptions, IDs, and general string values. Text works well with search and filtering and is displayed as entered.

Links inside Text columns

Text columns can render links when the cell value contains a supported link format.

• Markdown: [Link](https://link.com)
• HTML anchor: <a href="https://link.com">Link</a>
• Mixed content: This is a text [Link](https://link.com)

Use case: Document library

Acme Co — Knowledge Base

Titles and authors displayed clearly in a searchable table.

Set “Title” and “Author” to Text to keep names readable and easy to filter.

Number

Use Number for prices, quantities, percentages, and metrics. Number formatting changes the display only, not the stored value.

Formats

• Default — Plain number display.
• Decimal — Thousands separators with configurable decimals.
• Compact — Short display such as 3.4K or 1.2M.
• Currency — Locale-aware display with currency symbol and configurable decimals.

Use case: Budget tracker

Acme Co — Finance

Readable amounts for reporting and review.

Set “Amount” to Number → Currency to display values clearly while preserving numeric behavior for sorting and calculations.

Date

Use Date for deadlines, events, and timestamps. Date columns sort chronologically and can support date-based filtering.

Formats

• Default — Locale-based date display.
• ISO8601 — YYYY-MM-DD.
• Custom format — A pattern that matches your preferred display style.

If a value cannot be parsed as a date, the preview may show Invalid date until the value or format is corrected.

Use case: Release schedule

Acme Co — Product

Dates that behave like real dates.

Set “Release Date” to Date with ISO8601 when you want a consistent format across locales and teams.

Boolean

Use Boolean for true/false fields such as Active, Completed, or Approved.

Use case: Task completion

Hikari Solutions — PMO

Simple true/false tracking for team workflows.

Convert “Done?” to Boolean so teams can quickly filter or review completed tasks.

Enum

Use Enum when a column should contain a fixed set of labels such as Status, Priority, or Category.

Appearance

• Pills — Colored pill-style labels.
• Simple — Small indicator with text.
• Colored text — Text colored by value.
• Raw — Plain text.

Manage values

• Discovered values show the unique labels already present in the column.
• Use Add new value to introduce a label that is not currently present.
• Removing a configured label limits future options but does not automatically rewrite existing cell text.

Use case: Article status

Knowledge Base — Documentation Team

Clear status labels for filtering and review.

Convert “Status” to Enum with values such as Draft, In review, Approved, and Archived to make the table easier to scan and filter.
