Data Tables are a customizable UI component provided by the Resilient Platform which can be used to create custom tables that you define to group information in a way, that is meaningful to your organisation.
This thread can serve as a place to share best practices and convenient ways to use Data Tables to convey ordered sets of data.
Using Data Tables with Dates and Times
When using a Data Table column to represent a timestamp, ensure to use the Date Time Picker Field type.
The reason for this is; depending on your organisational structure, you may have analysts or other end users in different geographical regions to yourself. Using a Text Area Field to represent a timestamp means you will need to define which format the timestamp should be in. The result of this is, all your users will need to adjust to this one timestamp format.
Alternatively, you can use the Date Time Picker Field type which will enable you to provide an epoch value for your field rather than a timestamp string. The benefit, is that when you do it this way, the application can handle the appropriate datetime format for you, and will be dynamically presented in a format, determined by the end users locale.
Share any techniques you have in relation to Data Tables which you feel bring value to your Playbook Design or Integration development process.
