Organizing Mammoth Board Content Using Tables
Quickly grasp relationships between facts, figures, and other content within your board.
Mammoth is the best way to upload, share, and collaborate with teammates on loads of different content. Any time you have lots of related facts and figures to upload, a table is a useful way of organizing your content so that you or whomever is viewing your board can quickly see and understand how items relate.
Before continuing forward, here’s some great advice from Darkhorse Analytics on “How to Make Your Tables Less Terrible.”
Inserting a Table into a Mammoth Board
Before you create a table, it’s a good idea to think about the information you want to present. How do you want to arrange your table’s content?
Let’s say you’re preparing a presentation to about potential cloud-based storage solutions and you’re compiling all of your data on a Mammoth board. For this example, let’s say that your presentation will include sequential slides describing various products, including costs, file restrictions, and free up-front storage capacities.
This board you’re creating and its table will organize potential solutions that your company is considering. You’ll want to determine whether you want the products in rows and the features in columns or some other arrangement. Sometimes it makes sense to have a single category with lots of items in rows, and only a limited number of defining features across the columns. Here’s what I’m talking about:
Creating a Standard Table
To begin, double-click within your board to bring up the advanced editing toolbar. To create a table, click the ‘table’ button, between the ‘insert horizontal rule’ and ‘font color’ buttons. From the drop down menu, select insert table. Choose the number of rows and columns you need and click the ‘insert’ button.
Your table will automatically generate a header row when you create a table. If you need to delete this row, or add one to a table without a header row, you can easily do this under the same drop down menu, with ‘Add Head’ or “Delete Head.”
After you’ve drag-and-dropped images or video into your board, you can easily add it to specific cells within your table. Cut and paste your content into the selected cell you’d like to add it to. Edit and format your text by selecting it and using the advanced editor toolbar.
It really doesn’t get much easier than that!
