Data Table (Enhanced)
Overview
The Data Table component displays a Flow Record Collection in a table. Admins can control how the table is displayed and behaves with configuration options. Users can sort and select items from the table for usage in subsequent flow steps. The table automatically renders Lookup fields as links and provides other data type formatting based on the fields displayed. Inline editing can also be enabled.
This component is referred to as "(Enhanced)" to differentiate from the standard Salesforce provided Data Table component. This component also provides enhanced functionally over the Salesforce Data Table such as Inline Editing with Record Type support, Lookup Fields that render as links to records, address fields that link to Google Maps, and more.
We are always adding new features and enhancements to this component. Please get in touch with us if this component is missing the functionality you require.
