Salesforce's standard Data Table was built for selection
— not interaction

The standard Data Table component in Flow Builder does one thing well: display records and let users pick one. But when your flows need more — editing, visual indicators, row actions — you hit its limits fast.

Editing is limited to text fields

The standard Data Table only supports inline editing of text-type fields (as of Spring '26). Need to edit a date, picklist, or number? Users have to leave the table, open a separate screen, and come back.

No visual column types

The standard Data Table renders every column as plain text. No badges, no progress bars, no color coding. A "90% complete" task looks identical to a "5% complete" one.

No filtering, no row actions, no export

The standard Data Table has no built-in filter panel, no row-level action menus, and no CSV export. If users need to narrow down 500 records or act on a specific row, you have to build all of that yourself.

No visual builder or templates

The standard Data Table is configured one property at a time in the Flow Builder sidebar. No live preview, no templates, no drag-and-drop. Building a 10-column table takes longer than it should.

🆕 What changed in Spring '26

Salesforce's Spring '26 release added inline editing for text fields, column sorting, and hyperlink columns to the standard Data Table. These are welcome improvements — but editing is still limited to text-type fields only, and there's still no visual column types, no row actions, no filtering, and no export.

Two Data Tables — very different capabilities

Both components display records in a table format inside Screen Flows. The difference is in how far you can go
with editing, visualization, interactions, and styling.

Standard Salesforce Data Table

A solid display-and-select component that now supports basic inline editing of text fields (Spring '26), column sorting, and search. Best for simple flows where you need to show records and let users pick one or more.

Avonni Data Table

A complete data management interface with 25+ visual column types, inline editing for all field types, row actions, built-in filtering, data grouping, conditional formatting, CSV export, and a visual drag-and-drop builder.

The Avonni Data Table
Turn Your Flows into Interactive Data Screens

The Avonni Data Table goes beyond display and selection. Here's what it lets you build — no code required.

Visualize your data where it matters

The Avonni Data Table makes tables more than grids — show status with badges, progress with bars, people with avatars, and key metrics with conditional colors. Users scan instantly instead of reading every cell.

Badges
Progress bars
Avatars
Ratings
QR codes
25+ types
Standard Salesforce Data Table: Text and numbers only — no visual indicators

Edit everything without leaving the table

With the Avonni Data Table, users update numbers, dates, picklists, checkboxes, and even lookup fields directly inline. No separate edit screens, no extra flow steps — just click, change, and move on.

Text
Numbers
Dates
Picklists
Checkboxes
Lookups
Standard Salesforce Data Table: Text fields only (Spring '26)

Take action right from the row

The Avonni Data Table supports per-row action menus to edit, delete, open a sub-flow dialog, or navigate to a record — without leaving the table. Add header buttons for bulk actions like "New Record" or "Export CSV."

Row actions
Header buttons
Sub-flow dialogs
CSV export
Standard Salesforce Data Table: No row actions, no header buttons, no export

Group, filter, and make sense of large datasets

The Avonni Data Table lets you group rows by any field with collapsible headers and automatic row counts. Add a built-in filter panel so users can narrow down hundreds of records without you building separate filter components.

Collapsible groups
Row counts
Standard Salesforce Data Table: No grouping, no built-in filter UI

Build in minutes, not hours

The Avonni Component Builder lets you drag-and-drop columns, configure styling, and see a live preview as you build. Start from templates and customize — or use the built-in query data source so you don't even need a Get Records element.
