A table on the canvas is not a grid of text. Every column has a type, and the type decides how its cells are entered, displayed and sorted.

The types

Set a column's type from its header menu. They are grouped by how you enter a value.

Typed in the cell:

• Text — the default
• Number
• Currency
• Percent
• Date & time
• Duration
• Checkbox
• Rating — five stars

Picked from a list, or an address to follow:

• Labels — several per cell, in your own colours
• Status — one per cell
• Person — drawn from the people on your board
• Document — opens a full project document for that row
• URL, Email, Phone — clickable, and validated for the format they expect

Why the type matters

A status column is not text that happens to say "In progress" — it is a real value, which is what lets a board be sorted, filtered and read at a glance, and what lets the AI extend a table sensibly rather than guessing what a column is for.

Switching a column to Labels, Status, Person or Document opens its picker immediately, because an empty picker cell gives no hint that it opens one.

The AI and tables

The AI can add a column, or rewrite cells, in a table you already have, rather than redrawing the whole thing. Ask for "a status column and an owner for each row" and it extends the table in place.

Use Cases

• A shot table with duration, status and an owner per row
• A content calendar with dates, labels and a link per row
• A budget table with real currency columns that add up
