I stole/borrowed a technique from @Darren_Murphy to create lots of dashboard tables. They are all CSS/HTML for the RT component (created as template) and are great for dense dashboards. A couple of examples:

I saw an example of this type of table recently using Glide AI but tying the data/column elements via data within Glide AI was pretty cumbersome.

This is interesting because it could be done as a data element or a layout component. Currently it is a data element (template) that includes the design and placeholders for individual data items.
