Overview

What is the Table View in Quire?

Quire’s Table view allows you to manage tasks in a database-style spreadsheet layout, making it easy to view, compare, and update multiple task attributes at once. This view is especially useful when you need a structured, data-focused way to work with tasks.

What can I track using Quire’s Table view?

With customizable fields, Table view lets you add and manage structured task data such as:

• URLs and email addresses
• Dates and deadlines
• Numbers and currencies
• Formula-based fields

This makes Table view ideal for use cases like inventory tracking, project timelines, budget management, and other data-driven workflows.
