When working with larger databases, tables can quickly grow to many dozens of fields, which makes navigation across columns harder.
Currently it is possible to hide columns individually, but in practice many fields belong to logical groups (for example planning fields, metrics, metadata, etc.).
Suggestion:
Allow creating column groups inside table views.
For example:
Planning
• Start Date
• End Date
• Owner
Metrics
• Budget
• Revenue
• Conversion Rate
Metadata
• Created By
• Created Date
• Source
These groups could optionally have:
-
a color indicator or small colored dot near the column names
-
the ability to collapse / hide the entire group quickly
From a UI perspective, this could work in several ways. For example:
• A separate “Groups” section at the top of the column visibility panel (like in the screenshot).
• A quick toggle button above the database view to show/hide specific column groups.
This would make it much easier to manage wide tables, allowing users to temporarily hide entire sections of fields while keeping the structure organized.
Currently we can hide columns one by one, but grouping would make this much faster and more scalable for larger databases.
