Quire’s Table view lets you manage tasks in a database-style spreadsheet layout, making it easy to view, compare, and update multiple task attributes at once.

The Table view is only available in the Professional, Premium, Enterprise plans. More information can be found on our pricing page.

With customizable fields, you can track structured task data such as URLs, email addresses, dates, numbers, currencies, and formula-based fields — ideal for inventory tracking, budget management, and other data-driven workflows.

To switch, click the Table icon in the upper-right corner of the main panel.

Note: Each sublist has its own Table view configuration. Columns shown or hidden in one sublist will not affect others.
