A dynamic table is a type of Data Table which allows users to add, delete, and reorder rows.

...

  • Typically, the dynamic table is similar to an Inline Editing Table, including a header row and an action column.

  • In addition, the dynamic table has a unique toolbar, including three icons:

    • Add new row

    • Move up (optional)

    • Move down (optional)

  • If the top row is selected, the Move up icon is disabled.

  • If the bottom row is selected, the Move down icon is disabled.

  • If no row is selected, the Move up and Move down icons are disabled.

...

  • In Zero state, the table will show one row with blank fields, allowing the user to immediately enter new data.

  • In this case the action icons will be disabled, until the first input.

...

Interaction

  • Clicking the Add New Row icon creates a new row underneath the header row, in editing mode.

  • Clicking the Move Up icon replaces the selected row with the row above it.

  • Clicking the Move Down icon replaces the selected row with the row below it.

  • For editing and deleting rows, see Inline Editing Tables.

  • The user will still be able to sort the table:

    • By default, the sorting icon will show on hover as usual.

    • Clicking the header will toggle between sort ascending, sort descending, and clear sorting.

    • On clear sorting, the table will show the last manual order of rows.

    • Re-ordering rows will override any sort.

  • If the table becomes higher than its container, a Scrollbar will appear.

Best Practices

  • Use dynamic tables when the data is user-generated.

  • In some cases, it is preferable to use a regular data table rather than an inline editing table. For more information see the best practices section under Inline Editing Tables.
