- Data grid
A spreadsheet-like table where individual cells take focus and can be edited, navigated cell by cell with the arrow keys.
- Data table
A table built for working with data rather than reading it: sortable columns, selectable rows, and controls that act on the rows you select.
- Description list
Paired labels and values laid out as a list of facts about one thing, rather than as a table of many things.
- Expandable row
A table row that opens to reveal a detail panel beneath it, keeping the row in place instead of navigating away.
- Sort indicator
The small arrow in a column header showing that the table is sorted by that column and in which direction.
- Tree grid
A table whose rows nest and expand like a tree, so hierarchy and columns of data coexist in one grid.
- Zebra striping
Alternating row backgrounds in a table so the eye can track a single row across many columns.
layout
- Density
How much content a system packs into a given area, tuned as a named setting so the same components can run comfortable or compact.
- Frozen column
A table column held against the edge while the rest scrolls sideways, so the row's identifying value stays readable.
- Lawn mower pattern
A scanning shape for tables where the eye runs across one row, drops down and runs back the other way, mowing the cells in alternating directions.
