LAUNCHED: Generate sticky notes from table data

With Miro, we are able to copy cells from a google sheet/excel, then paste them into Miro where each cell becomes an individual sticky note with respective colors applied.

This is great for transcription and affinity diagramming during research.

I’d LOVE to see this in FigJam 🙂

I published FigJam Plugin “Table to Sticky notes”.

Please try this. I hope you like it.

We are unable to use plugins, can you deploy a native fix?

Being able to paste spreadsheet cells into FigJam and have then turn into sticky notes was one of the BEST functions for being able to do research analysis!!! This seems no longer possible with the addition of the new table feature, which is going to make doing research analysis on FigJam much more difficult and time consuming 😦

Support your UX research community and bring back the ability to paste cells as sticky notes, please!!!

Hey All,

Thank you for feedback regarding this recent change!

We’ve passed this thread along to the FigJam team. They hear your concerns and understand how many of you liked this capability - it’s definitely on our radar!

For now, please try the Table to Sticky notes plugin listed above as a workaround.

Just want to voice in agreement! I don’t need FigJam to have tables prioritized over sticky notes. That’s what my spreadsheets are for (which i don’t want to be in). If I want tables I’d imagine Sheets does this functionality better. Would love the see FigJam sticking to their bread and butter 🙂

My company was preparing to invest in FigJam for all of our Product team. Without this feature, they have to paste in user data and feedback one sticky at a time.

Our last affinity mapping was over 1,000 rows of data and feedback. Miro still supports this functionality and luckily we still have licenses for that. Replacing this feature with this useless paste-to-table functionality was not a good move.

Make it accessible ✨

Loving the new table feature but there are some times when I actually want to paste content from Excel into FigJam and separate the cells into Sticky notes.

Maybe you could add a function to break the table into sticky notes to get around this.

This way we can format whole rows/columns before the splitting.
