We’ve rolled out a new dynamic table system across the Blink ExperienceOS.
This update gives you more control over how data is displayed, allowing you to customize table views, rearrange columns, and focus only on the information that matters to you.
Once configured, your table setup is applied consistently across the dashboard.
What’s New
The new dynamic table experience allows you to:
Customize which columns are visible
Reorder columns to match your workflow
Adjust table views based on your needs
Work with a cleaner, more flexible layout
These improvements make it easier to scan data, manage large lists, and adapt tables to different use cases.
Note: To change from the Old Table view, click on the three dots (more options) and click on "Try New Table"
Customize Table Columns
You now have full control over which columns appear in the table and how information is displayed, including the following features:
You can simply drag and drop to adjust the column orders as per your preferred view.
Use the Search Table field to find any data in the sheet based on keywords search.
Choose between the Default User View or Create View, where you can create a customized view for your table.
You can Edit column name, Sort or Remove columns using the downward arrow next to the column name.
Custom Table Views Management
The Custom Views feature allows admins to create, duplicate, rename, and delete table configurations. Each view functions as a standalone setup, enabling flexible data organization without affecting other views.
Create Custom Table Views
Admins can now create new independent table views directly from the Views dropdown.
Select Create View option from Views dropdown menu.
By creating a view the user gets redirected to the new view.
Newly created views open in an empty configuration state.
New views are automatically named using an incremental pattern: (Untitled View
, Untitled View 2, Untitled View 3...etc.,)
View names must be unique at the event level.
Delete Table Views
Admins can delete views they no longer need to maintain a clean and organized view list.
Hovering over a view reveals an Action Items icon next to the view name.
Select it to open a sub-menu
Click on Delete View.
After deletion:
The view is permanently removed
The admin is redirected to the default view or last visited view
Duplicate Table Views
Admins can quickly replicate an existing view configuration without rebuilding it manually.
Hovering over a view reveals an Action Items icon next to the view name.
Select it to open a sub-menu
Click on Duplicate View.
A new independent view is created
The full configuration (columns orders and configurations) is preserved and the admin is redirected to the duplicated view.
Duplicated views follow this naming pattern: {Original View Name} copy
Rename Table Views
Admins can rename any existing table view to better reflect its purpose.
The rename option exists in the Action Items menu and it opens a centered Rename View pop-up. The input is prefilled with the current view name. The updated name appears in the Views list
Adding New Columns
To add a new table, click the ➕ (Add Column) icon on the right side of the table header.
This opens the field selector, where you can choose exactly what data to show.
You can:
Add predefined fields such as country, document details, or contact points
Include custom fields created for your event
Once selected, the new columns are instantly added to the table.
Note: that only custom fields you create can be deleted from the table. Predefined columns can be removed from view, but cannot be deleted.
Create Fields
The Create Field feature gives you more flexibility when managing data across Blink ExperienceOS.
With this feature, you can create custom fields based on your event needs, allowing you to capture and organize information that is most relevant to your workflow.
Once created, these fields can be used across the table and help you tailor the data view to better match your event setup.
The Create Field feature includes field type options such as URL, Single Select, and Number, allowing you to create more tailored custom fields based on your event needs.
URL Field Type
The URL field type allows you to create custom fields for storing website links and online profile URLs. This is useful when you need to capture references such as LinkedIn profiles, company websites, or other relevant external pages.
When selected, the field accepts URL-based input and helps keep link-related information organized within the table.
You can enter values in formats such as blink.global or https://blink.global/workspace, depending on the link you want to store.
Single Select Field Type
The Single Select field type allows you to create a custom field with predefined selectable options. This is useful when you want users to choose one value from a set list, such as gender, status, category, or other event-specific data.
When creating the field, you can add multiple selectable options and define how they appear in the table. This helps keep data consistent and makes it easier to review records across the dashboard.
You can also choose the display style for the field, such as Colored Chip, and assign a Default Option that will apply to new records only.
This makes the Single Select field type useful for capturing standardized information in a clear and structured way.
Number Field Type
The Number field type allows you to create custom fields for storing numeric values in a structured format. This is useful when you need to capture data such as deposits, quantities, scores, or other number-based information.
When creating the field, you can define how numeric values should be displayed by selecting the decimal placement and thousand and decimal separators. This helps keep number formatting consistent across the table.
You can also choose whether to abbreviate large numbers, show thousand separators, or allow negative values, depending on the type of data you want to collect.
This makes the Number field type useful for capturing numerical data in a clear and standardized way.
Bulk Actions (Include Companions)
To perform bulk actions on Blink tables, select users by ticking the checkbox on the left side of each row, then click Bulk Actions.
Select the Target from the dropdown list. (Applications - Attendees - Invitations)
Select the Action Type from the dropdown list based on the options available for the chosen target.
Include Companions
Companions are not visible in the Blink tables. To perform actions related to companions, make sure to enable the Include Companions option during the bulk action.
Record Control
The Record Control option allows you to manage how many rows are displayed in the table at once. This helps you control large data sets more easily and adjust the table view based on your workflow.
How to Use Record Control
To adjust the number of rows displayed in the table:
• Click the Rows dropdown at the top of the table
• In the Starting Row field, enter the row number you want the table to begin from
• In the Row Limit field, enter the maximum number of rows you want to display
• Click Save Changes to apply the new table range
Note: The Maximum number of records per view is 2,000.
Smart Filters
The Filters option allows you to narrow down the table data and focus only on the records that match your selected criteria. This makes it easier to review specific groups of attendees and work more efficiently with large data sets.
Add Filters and Filter Groups
After opening the Filters menu, you can create individual filters or combine multiple conditions to narrow down your table results more precisely.
You can:
Click Add Filter to apply a single filter condition
Click Add Filter Group to combine multiple filters together
Click Clear Filters to remove all applied filters and return to the full table view
Filter groups are useful when you need to refine results using more than one condition at the same time.
Once filters are added, the table updates to display only the records that match your selected criteria. This gives you more control over how data is displayed and helps you focus on the most relevant records.
Manage Applied Filters
Once filters are added, they appear in the Filters panel where you can review, update, or remove them as needed.
Each filter is built by selecting:
A field to filter by
A condition operator
A value to match
If you are using more than one filter, you can also define the relationship between them, such as And, to make the results more specific.
You can:
Add additional filters within the same group
Remove a single filter using the delete icon
Clear all filters at once by clicking Clear Filters
The filter count displayed on the Filters button shows how many filters are currently applied.
This gives you a flexible way to refine table results and quickly adjust the view as your needs change.
These changes are applied consistently across the dashboard wherever this table is used, giving you a unified and personalized view of your data.
Merge Columns
The Merge Columns feature allows you to combine more than one field into the table search. This helps you narrow down results more effectively by searching across multiple data points at the same time.
For example, you can merge fields such as:
First Name and Mobile Number
First Name and Email
Email and Phone Number
Once merged, the Search Table field checks all selected fields together, making it easier to find the exact record you are looking for.
This is especially useful when a single field is not enough to identify a record, or when similar names appear across the table.
Blink Dynamic Tables give you more control over how data is displayed, organized, and managed across Blink ExperienceOS. With flexible views, filters, and search options, you can work more efficiently across the dashboard.
