In this lesson, we dive into dashboards and the core concepts of Tables — databases that live in Parabola and power dashboards and visualizations.

​
About Parabola Tables

With Parabola Tables, you can:
  • Store up to 5 million rows and 5,000 columns of data
  • Share data across Flows using the Pull from Parabola Table step
  • Build interactive data Tables with groupings, custom views, and heat maps
  • Use Table data to power additional visualizations

​
Customizing your Parabola Table

There are a few essential pieces of functionality you should know about when working with Parabola Tables:
  • Grouping: The grouping function allows you to create pivot table-like views with dropdowns.
  • Calculations: Click on either a grouped row or the bottom bar of your Parabola Table to add calculated fields. For example, after grouping your inventory data by Status, you can Sum all values in the Available column to see an overview of quantities by status.
  • Colors: Beyond customizing the color of your Table, you can also add color to specific columns — including color scales and color rules.
  • Hiding: Select columns to hide from certain views.

Building challenge

In this challenge, we’ll create a Table that is grouped by status and warehouse to make it easy for the team to review SKUs with low inventory levels.
1

Group rows

In the Inventory report Table, group rows first by status, then by warehouse.
2

Customize the Table

Change the color of the Table to green, and freeze the first column of data.
3

Add a calculation

Add a calculation to the Available column to sum up units available by status. Format the column to include a comma.
