By Impran M N
Static spreadsheets and fragmented version control make it hard to keep a team's data current. This guide covers building a Loop table component, customizing its columns, and sharing it as a live, editable block in Teams or Outlook.
01Insert the table component
Move your cursor to a free line in your Loop page and type /table to drop a dynamic data matrix onto the canvas.
02Configure your columns
Click any column header to rename it, and use the plus buttons to add new data fields.
03Set column data types
Click the column type dropdown to change cells into date pickers, number fields, or status labels as needed.
04Resize and reorder as needed
Drag column borders to resize widths and reorder your grid sequence to match how your team scans the data.
05Create a shareable component
Click the six-dot handle on the table's border and choose 'Create Component' to prepare it for external sharing.
06Embed it elsewhere
Copy the component link and paste it into Teams or Outlook to allow real-time multiplayer editing outside the original page.
