Usage & Behavior
General Guidelines
Structure
A spreadsheet table contains a grid of rows and columns, including:
a header row,
a header column,
a total row (optional).
If the table is higher than its container, a Scrollbar will appear. The scrollbar will not affect the header or title rows, if exist.
Content
Numbers inside cells will be aligned to the right.
States
State | Example | Comments |
|---|---|---|
Regular |  | |
Hover |  | |
Selected |  | |
Disabled |  | |
No Data |  | |
Error |  | See Field Validation. |
Warning |  | |
Focus |  | Only one cell can be in focus at any time. |
Interaction
Clicking a cell will:
select the cell.
deselect all other cells.
change the cell to an input field, allowing the user to edit it.
If the cell is already in focus, clicking the cell will place the insertion point on cursor location.
Hitting the Enter key when a cell is selected or focused will:
save the text in the cell (if it exists).
exit edit mode, returning the cell to the selected state.
Hitting the Tab key when a cell is selected or focused will:
save the text in the cell (if it exists).
deselect the cell.
move the focus to the next cell (to the right of the current one), while skipping disabled cells. If the focused cell is the last one on the row, hitting Tab will set the focus to the first cell of the next row.
Dragging the cursor over a group of cells selects that group of cells.
A focused cell will have a special handle in the bottom-right corner. See States above.
Hovering over the handle will switch the cursor to a cross.
Dragging the handle will copy the content of the cell to the target cells.
The user can cut, copy, and paste cell content using Ctrl / Cmd + X, C and V respectively.
Validations and Errors
Errors may be triggered by:
typing long text in a cell.
typing invalid data in a cell.
deleting mandatory cells.
For more information please refer to the Field Validation page.
Best Practices
Use:
when there is a need to edit data within a large data set.
when the table supports another set of data, such as a graph.
