The Table question type allows for frontline users to easily capture multiple inputs on one screen. Use it when one question needs multiple entries, such as numeric readings, inspection results, counts, measurements, or itemized observations.
Common use cases
Use a Table question for:
Numeric readings: pressure, temperature, voltage, meter readings, hours, weights, or measurements
Inspection results: area checked, condition, issue found, action needed
Inventory or counts: item, quantity, location, notes
Equipment checks: equipment name, reading, status, comments
Task tracking: task, owner, completion status, notes
Table limits
A Table question can include:
Up to 5 columns
Unlimited rows
Users can add as many rows as needed while completing the workflow.
Column types
Each column can be set as Text or Number.
Text allows any entry, including letters, numbers, and symbols.
Use Text for equipment names, locations, conditions, comments, or notes.
Number only allows numeric entries.
Use Number for quantities, readings, measurements, counts, or other values that should not include letters.
Required and skippable
A Table question can be marked as required.
If Skippable is selected, users can skip the question when it does not apply.
Example
Equipment | Reading | Unit | Notes |
Pump 1 | 78 | PSI | Normal |
Pump 2 | 82 | PSI | Monitor |
Best practices
Keep column labels short and clear. Use Number for values you may want to review or report on later, and use Text for descriptions or context.
