name: table-form-ux description: Improve dense PM Workspace tables and forms such as registers, tracker, tasks, and timesheets. Use for inline editing, mobile fallbacks, direct actions, and clearer dense-data workflows.
Table And Form UX
Use this skill for screens where users manage many rows, fields, or filters quickly.
Focus
- scanability
- inline editing clarity
- action discoverability
- filter and sort ergonomics
- mobile fallback structure
Inputs
- target screen or component
- user task that should feel faster
- any desktop or mobile constraint
Output
- a simpler dense-data interaction model
- notes on scanning, editing, and mobile behavior
- regression risks if shared helpers or row state are involved
Process
- Identify the main job the user is trying to do on the screen.
- Remove or compress labels that repeat what the layout already says.
- Keep one clear interaction model per surface.
- Prefer explicit controls for important row actions.
- If the desktop table will not survive on mobile, switch to a card or detail-sheet pattern instead of squeezing it.
PM Workspace Defaults
- Registers and tracker views should favor fast scanning over decorative density.
- Important row actions should remain obvious.
- Color can support organization, but text and structure must still carry meaning.
- Forms should guide the next action without long instructional copy.
