Lists and Tables

What I am missing while designing for the web with PS or AI is, the possibility to create lists (ordered or unordered) or tables or other stuff, that is possible with html/css.

    I am doing a UI which is incredibly data-driven, and as such there are a LOT (and I mean A LOT!) of data tables.
    It would be great if there were a table tool, with a Properties Panel, that controlled number of rows & columns, cell properties, alternate row color, column headers, corner radius... and all the other trimmings and trappings of a good table manager.

    Repeat grid is good for tiling objects, but not good at all for tables.

    It would be nice to populate data from a spreadsheet.

    Working with tables is very challenging in XD, needs to introduce this features as early as.

  • Terence Waters commented  ·   ·  Report

    Repeat Grid works, but it is crazy cumbersome and time-consuming. Creating boxes for the table, resizing, then repeat drag to work?

    Why can't a table function just exist so I can style it how I want once and be done with it? Too many clicks for a simple feature.

    Since often i find myself designing portal UI which needs tables. I would like a table tool that allows me to add and remove columns or rows on the fly from property panel. maybe even option to select type of cell, image/icon or text cell.

    currently designing tables is a nightmare in case i need to remove a column or row as I will have to resize many elements and think about spacing a lot if im trying to make it pixel perfect. with responsive resize it has become easier. but not 100% there

    Need to have excel style columns & row for lists along with all the style options including adding in box icons from fontawesome. I can't vote either. Please fix this asap.

    Id like to be able to populate my grid from a spreadsheet.

    Yes, working with tables is very challenging in XD. Like most prototype programs, it is overlooked. I think a better compromise here would be a more advanced version of the repeat grid. Essentially, I need to be able to control column widths and row heights independently. I need to be able to color the background of a row, column or individual cell. I need headers that accept different appearance than the rest of the grid. I need to be able to do all of this without breaking the grid itself as it is very useful.

    I think the above additions would make for advanced and complete repeat grid feature that would add much more to the richness of prototyping experience in XD. I think it would be much more useful than simply building tables as people would likely find all kinds of interesting ways of using it. However, I see it as a main element rather than as an element option. It would likely require it's own properties panel.

    I work on Enterprise level UIs which are very table heavy, Lists and Tables are a must, Repeat grid is not sufficient. Lists and Tables are very basic web elements that are widely used so it is really sad that not only is Adobe ignoring this request but they even locked down the Voting of this feature request.

    The Repeat Grid feature is cumbersome when all I want to do is cut and paste text and turn it into a list. What Adobe is asking us to do is create 2 boxes, one for the bullet/number and one for the text, and then change each box in the grid. If the text runs on to a second line we then need to create a new grid that accommodates 2 lines of text and intersperse the two different types of grids. All this just to make a list!

    I’m sure Adobe thinks, “Just use dummy text and make one type of box in your grid.” Well you wouldn’t reuse the same image over and over again in a product catalog. In fact in all the tutorials Adobe seems to brag about the way you can import multiple images into a grid to avoid that very problem.

    Is this ever going to be addressed? The admin response is dated October 2016. Also none of us can vote this post up.

    Same. Why is voting locked?

  • Cooper commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's not letting me vote on this either. Would also really like to see proper tables in XD.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    A simple list

    Bullet item
    Bullet item

    1 item
    2 item

    Customized element item2
    Etc

    Would love table and list tools - especially useful for complex data sets. Something similar to InDesign's capabilities. Even using Tabs would be nice.

  • Saul Frank commented  ·   ·  Report

    We use a lot of tables and I don't think it is the same as repeat grids (which serves a different purpose IMO). Look at Axure which has tables and works well.

    Can't place a vote for this feature. What's up with that? Definitely needed detailed by Lipka.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    All features mentioned in Glen Lipka's comment would be ideal
