LAUNCHED: Add tables to figJam

Hi there! I often draw user flows and UML diagrams while doing my UX research. It would be nice to add tables with customised width, hight and quantities of rows and columns. Or maybe some templates for User flow

Much needed!

Agreed! Dealbreaker feature gap between FigJam today and Miro.

Simple tables would be great to have to easily create a little more structure on the board.

Agreed, a table would be icing on the cake

💯 for building this feature! Not to use for design, but to better integrate data, analysis, and other findings into our brainstorming.

Example: I’m currently doing a mini audit on competitors, and need to compare basic functionality. A table is the easiest way to display this information. Instead, I will need to create a horizontal group for each row, and hope that the spacing is easy to manage if I add more content in the future.

Hey All,

There’s a widget available in our community that may help:

The table widget is great for some uses, but doesn’t really solve my use case. I would like to use either tables or a grid to create more structure on a board for example to create swim lanes in user journeys, create columns for dividing topics in workshops, and least importantly simple stand-up boards.

My organization doesn’t allow the use of widgets, so an embedded tool would be appreciated.

This widget does not allow group actions like multi-cell editing. There is no ability to merge cells, and not much you can do from a styling perspective either. Thanks for letting us know it’s there, but it’s not great. Just to save others from the excitement to disappointment rollercoaster I experienced hahaha 😉

I wouldn’t call this proposed widget a solution, it’s painful to use.

1. Almost no styling options
2. No way to do col spans or row spans
3. No way to reorder content other than copy paste
4. No individual text formatting on a cell
5. No individual cell formatting

I could go on, but basically we still need a real table solution here

Native tables are coming soon to FigJam. Keep for updates!

This is a really important for the PM work I do. Can we get an answer to when this will deploy?

When are the tables coming? 😬

I was about to ask the same… 🥲

any update on when?

Hey @jessica.kanwal @Joao_Ferreiro @Kiki.Carr, we don’t have an exact timeline to provide yet, but stay tuned - it’s coming!

Hey @dvaliao

Exciting to hear that native tables are on the FigJam roadmap - let me know if you need anyone to user test a prototype! Not being able to present information in a table is the biggest pain point I experience using FigJam as a product manager - otherwise it’s my go-to whiteboarding tool!

Thanks, @Sean_Gardner!

We’ll definitely keep you in mind! 😉

Hey! I’m looking into my options on moving my language school content to figJam. What is the time scope for the tables coming? It’s essential for me to know, even a very approximate date would help.

This was requested in 2021 and is a basic feature. Hope that “coming soon” is real after 4 months waiting…

You can already try. Just duplicate my file from the link below:

A post was split to a new topic: Merging cells in FigJam Tables

Need table to be more flexible.
More appropriate example is Miro Grid.
Helps me to construct better screens with icons, text, merged cells etc.
Reduced effort for creating low fidelity wireframes.
Please when you make feature always refer to word or PowerPoint for basic funcitions of an features or an element. For eg, A table without merge/unmerge cell doesnt make much sense.
