Card Table is probably the most versatile widget in Placker's Report view. It allows users to visualize and analyze data in a tabular format, that is, users can customize the columns to fit their specific needs.
When a Card Table is useful for your projects
With the Card Table widget, you can choose which card attributes to include as columns, such as due date, member, or status. The rows are the cards on a board.
So for a report where viewers would like to see details on the card level, and not only an overview, it's recommended to include this widget.
Furthermore, the Card Table widget supports various filtering and sorting options, allowing users to focus on specific subsets of data. This flexibility enables users to quickly identify trends, spot bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions.
Examples of Card Table
In the screenshot above, you can see a table that shows how all cards on the card and the information related to them.
Since this board has a lot of attributes filled (status, label, member, due date, progress and traffic light), many of them were selected to be displayed in the columns.
As a general rule, Card Table can be used for:
Tasks in a project
Purchase orders in a product board
Epics on a development board
Any other case where it's beneficial to see data from cards
