How to Use Fixed Rows in Data Grids

Lock in your table structure and guide users with predefined row questions.

Updated this week

In Team Forms, a data-grid is a table-like component often used to collect repeated information. By default, users can dynamically add or remove rows when filling out the form.

When you enable Fixed Rows, this changes—the number of rows becomes locked, and you define them ahead of time. You can also add a label or question for each row (e.g. “Generator”, “Water Pump”), which appears in the first column. This is especially useful when you have a survey or table where each row represents a different question, but each column uses the same type of response.

To enable this feature, follow the steps below:

  1. Drag and drop a data-grid into your form - You’ll find this component under the “Data” heading in the components list.

  2. Enable “Fixed Rows” - In the Display tab of the component settings, toggle on Fixed Rows. This removes the “+ Add another” button and allows you to pre-define a question for each row.

  3. Define your rows - Once Fixed Rows is enabled, a new Rows section will appear in the Display tab. Here you can define a question for each row (and an optional tooltip). Add your questions and note how each one displays in the first column of the table.

  4. Add your columns - Click Save, then add or remove additional fields within the data-grid. Each field becomes a new column next to your row questions. For example, you could add a Date/Time field or a Checkbox by simply dragging and dropping these components into your data-grid.
