What is Zoho Tables?

Zoho Tables is a no-code spreadsheet-and-database hybrid, combining familiar spreadsheet workflows with the advanced capabilities of a relational database.

With five distinct views—Grid, Gallery, Kanban, Calendar, and Form—Zoho Tables allows users to visualize data in the way that best suits the task. It can also be used to build interactive dashboards to bring key metrics together, monitor progress, and gain valuable insights at a glance. Beyond organizing data, it fosters smart relationships between tables, enables collaboration among team members, and automates routine tasks to boost efficiency and productivity.

Designed for flexibility, Zoho Tables adapts to any function or industry. Users can create tailored solutions that fit any unique requirements without writing a single line of code. Plus, with its mobile app, users can track data and manage work from anywhere.

Fantastic as a database to create relationships between Zoho Modules as well as external systems that we use, which has resolved several issues with cross-system mapping. Seamless thus far for all Zoho integration. Fantastic so far and will continue to explore the features available. Particularly good for project management and clarity around task delegation etc.

Zoho Tables is simple but efficient.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zoho Tables for a range of operations from managing tasks in meetings, to projects, etc. It is an extremely customizable tool that can be used to fit your needs almost every time! I absolutely love it! It is a perfect blend of simple like a sheets software, but slightly sophisticated like a project management software too. It's great to use as it is simple and yet effective!

Pros

  • It allows for connections between other zoho apps
  • It allows for tabs! I love this part!
  • It is simple but efficient which I love! It doesn't need to be overcomplicated on every day use, but having the ability to customize it to be more in depth with layering automations makes it great.

Cons

  • Ability to create subgroups in a simple fashion in the Zoho Tables. That allows for drop downs. Does not change the formatting of any cells unless specifically addressed by user. But a light column is added at the start of the table with a button to dropdown each row.
  • Ability to fill a cell with color without reason or specific selection of field options, add an option for a simple color bucket fill.
  • It would be great to have an efficient way of updating tasks, projects, etc all on one table easily set up by the user! (Ie. When column "Next Action" equals "Add Task to Project 1" without using deluge)
  • The best pre-made automations for Zoho Tables would be with all {} being user defined selections:
  • - Update {Selected Task Field} on {Task} when {Column}...
  • - When {Row} on table is created or edited: Add {Column} as a Task on {Project} in {Task List} then map {Related Table Columns} to {Project Columns}

Return on Investment

  • I have not had much ROI on this specific tool just yet. But I do foresee the ability to streamline a lot of our operations as we are beginning to scale.
