In a table, the information is shown in a grid of rows and columns. Each row represents the information of one item. The details of an item are shown in each column.
Use a table view for overviews. For example, the overview can emphasize high priority items that must have your immediate attention. In the table view you can add fields to add more detail to the item or remove fields to focus on specific differences between the items. Table views are also the basis for explorer views. You can print the table view or save it as an HTML page, the table can then be used as a report.
