Jotform Tables makes it easier for the people in your organization to collaborate when managing forms and data. You can help people who have access to your tables better understand what they can and can’t do with the form entries by adding a description to the tabs and columns.
Adding Descriptions to Tabs
To add a description to a tab
- In Jotform Tables, click on the tab’s vertical ellipsis icon.
- Choose Add description from the menu.

- Enter your description in the editor then click on Save.

An exclamation icon should appear in the tab.

Anyone who clicks on it will see the tab description. As the form owner, you can edit or delete the tab description by clicking the icons at the bottom of the description window.

You can also edit an existing tab description from the tab menu.
Adding Descriptions to Columns
To add a description to a column
- In Jotform Tables, click on the columns down angle icon.
- Choose Add description from the menu.

- Enter your description in the dialogue box then click on Save.

The column description supports plain text up to 280 characters.
An exclamation icon should appear in the column heading. Collaborators can hover their mouse over it to view the description.

To edit the column description, open the column menu then choose the Edit description option.
