Table height

Control how much of the table is visible before scrolling. Pick a simple preset — Small, Medium, Large, or Full content. If your table has fewer rows than the chosen size, it expands automatically so nothing gets cut off.

How to use

  1. Open the Formatting tab in the table setup panel.
  2. Select Table height.
  3. Choose one of the presets:
    • Small — Show a few rows (good for quick scans).
    • Medium — Show more rows for lightweight review.
    • Large — Show many rows for deeper work.
    • Full content — Show all rows (no table scroll).
  4. Preview the change in real time and click Save.

This setting only controls the table’s visible area. It doesn’t change your data, filters, sorting, or exports — it simply adjusts the viewport height inside the macro.

Recommended uses

  • Small — Stand-up notes, meeting pages, or when the table is a secondary element.
  • Medium — Team lists and short reports you want to skim without scrolling too much.
  • Large — Backlogs, registers, or long lists you work with actively.
  • Full content — Reviews and exports where you want everything on screen.
Use case: Large height for sprint backlog

Product Team — Sprint Planning

Context and goal:
The team triages a backlog of hundreds of issues every week. They need to see many rows while keeping filters and sorting visible.

Solution:
They set Table height to Large. More items are visible without paging, but the page still stays balanced with other content.

Impact:
Faster triage and fewer scrolls during planning sessions, while keeping the page readable.

Tips
• On narrow screens, the table may automatically step down to a smaller height for readability.
• Keyboard navigation and search still work across the full dataset — only the viewport changes.

Choose a height that matches the job at hand — from quick glances to full reviews — without touching the underlying data.
