Smart Tables are dynamic, user-configurable data grids that streamline complex workflows by integrating intelligent filters, contextual actions, and real-time evidence traceability. They’re designed to help users organize, interpret, and act on high-volume data with speed and precision.
Let's go through the various features of the smart table view:
You can use the expand/collapse icon at the top left to manage row visibility and streamline your view.
Next to it, the Columns icon lets you choose which columns to show or hide and rearrange their order—so you can focus on the data most relevant to your workflow.
The AI Columns and Filter features are explained in detail here:
Certain columns offer sorting functionality via a drop-down menu, accessible upon clicking the sort icon next to the column header. This option and menu appear active only for columns with sortable content—you can choose ascending or descending sort, or clear any previously applied sort to restore the default order.
When hovering over each column title, users can view a brief description and the input instructions used to generate the results. This guidance ensures consistency and transparency across the table, making it easier to interpret the data accurately.
To delete AI-generated columns in your table, hover over the column header— the delete icon appears next to the heading; click it to remove the column from your table. This allows you to refine your table layout and focus only on the data that’s most relevant.
At the top right of the table you can utilize the options to:
Export Table: Download the current table.
Launch Workflow: Apply a custom workflow like:
Duplicate Table: Create a working copy of the table with identical structure and data.
Event Feed: Open a dynamic feed of updates, analytics, or signals tied to the table entities and to create watchlists directly from the table without triggering a separate workflow.
Share: By using the toolbar option next to the Maven Assistant search bar you can create shareable links to collaborate with other Maven Bio users. When a shared link is opened, a copy of the table is automatically added to the recipient’s account, allowing them to explore and work with the data independently.
Invoke Maven Assistant: "Ask about this table" activates the Maven Assistant, allowing users to pose context-aware questions from within the table interface.
In table view, click the + sign next to the Maven assistant search bar, this opens a searchable dropdown where you can search for your item and instantly add it to the table.
To improve usability when viewing wide tables, the horizontal scroll bar is positioned at the top of the table interface. This layout makes it easier for users to navigate across multiple columns—especially when the column count exceeds the visible screen space—without losing access to core controls or interrupting their workflow.
These built-in actions not only boost productivity but also make advanced analytics more accessible. Whether you're exporting outputs or investigating context, the table adapts to your needs in real time.
