Gets a Speed Boost with New Direct Cell Editing in the Avonni Data Table

Update: for the full picture of inline editing in Salesforce Flow data tables, see our guide Salesforce Flow Data Table Inline Editing.

The Avonni Data Table component for Screen Flow now supports Direct Cell Editing — users can modify table data inline without opening separate forms.

The Problem it Solves

Data-heavy workflows often require users to click into edit forms, make changes, save, and return to the table view. Direct Cell Editing eliminates this round-trip by converting table cells into editable inputs on demand.

Concrete benefits:

• Faster edits: Users update data where they see it, no context-switching.
• Fewer clicks: One click per cell instead of open form → edit → save → return.
• Better UX: Modern interface that feels responsive and immediate.

You'll want this for scenarios where bulk or frequent updates are the norm. Real examples:

• Salesforce CPQ: Adjust line-item quantities, prices, or discounts during quote creation without closing the table.
• Opportunity Management: Update stage, close date, or amount directly in the pipeline view — better for sales forecasting visibility.
• Case Management: Modify case status, priority, or owner from the case list without drilling into individual case records.

How to Enable It

The setup is straightforward:

1. Add the Avonni Data Table component to your Screen Flow
2. Open the Component Builder
3. Wire up your Data Source to feed the table
4. In Data Mappings, select the column you want editable.
5. Toggle Display as Input to ON.
6. Cells in that column become editable input boxes immediately.

Try It

Direct Cell Editing cuts friction from data-heavy workflows. Test it with a high-volume use case and measure the time saved — you'll likely see the difference immediately.
