Data Table Design Checklist

Use this checklist when designing a SaaS data table. These principles come from Linear, Airtable, HubSpot, and Attio.

Make columns scannable

Primary data goes left. Status, owner, and dates get consistent width. Secondary metadata should not compete with the row title.

Support sort, filter, and saved views

A table without filters is a screenshot. HubSpot, Attio, and Airtable all let users save the view they actually work from.

Keep row density configurable

Power users want compact rows. New users need breathing room. Offer at least a default dense mode like Linear.

Put row actions within reach

Hover actions, checkboxes, and a detail panel beat burying every action in a menu. Let people update status without opening a new page.

Design empty, loading, and overflow states

Zero rows, infinite scroll, sticky headers, and truncated cells all need explicit treatment or the table falls apart.

Pair tables with a detail view

Clicking a row should open a side panel or record page. Close, Attio, and Linear keep context instead of dumping users onto a new layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good data table UI?

A good data table UI is scannable, filterable, and fast. Columns have a clear hierarchy, rows have obvious actions, and users can sort, filter, and save views. Linear, Airtable, and HubSpot are strong examples because the table is the product, not a leftover admin screen.

What are the best SaaS data table UI examples?

Top data table UI examples include Linear for issue lists, Airtable for spreadsheet grids, HubSpot and Attio for CRM records, Notion for databases, Amplitude for analytics, and Basedash for admin tables. Compare density, filters, and how each product opens a row.

Should SaaS tables look like spreadsheets?

Sometimes. Airtable and Notion lean spreadsheet because editing cells is the job. Linear and HubSpot lean list-plus-detail because the row is a record, not a cell. Choose based on whether users edit in place or open an object.

How many columns should a SaaS table show?

Show the 4–8 columns people need for a decision, then let them add more. Defaulting to twenty columns creates horizontal scroll and hides the point of the list. Saved views solve power-user needs without punishing everyone else.

How do you design table filters?

Put high-frequency filters above the table as chips or dropdowns. Offer an advanced builder for complex queries. Remember applied filters with a saved view. Attio, HubSpot, and Airtable all make the current filter state visible at a glance.
