# Table View

The Table View presents all issues in a flat, sortable table regardless of whether they have dates assigned. It is designed for scanning fields, identifying missing data, and performing bulk review.

## When to Use Table View

* **Auditing data quality** -- quickly spot issues missing Start Date, End Date, Assignee, or other key fields
* **Reviewing all issues** -- see every issue in the project without requiring date fields (unlike the Timeline)
* **Sorting and scanning** -- sort by any column to find outliers or group similar items

## Columns

The table displays the following columns for each issue:

* Issue key
* Summary
* Status
* Issue type
* Assignee
* Start Date
* End Date
* Priority
* Additional mapped fields (Area, Team, Risk, Impact, Story Points)

Columns are sortable. Click a column header to sort ascending or descending.

## Hierarchy Context

While the Table View is flat (not tree-structured), each row indicates its parent issue so you can understand where items sit in the hierarchy.

## Filters

All toolbar filters apply to the Table View. Use text search, status, assignee, area, team, quarter, labels, or risk-only filters to narrow the list.

## Complementary Use

The Table View works well alongside the Timeline. Use the Timeline for scheduling and visual planning, then switch to the Table View to catch any issues that are missing dates or other required fields.
