# Standard Data Table (Repeating Group)

## Overview

This block allows a user to view a list of things in a data table format and apply additional filters to the list. 

A user can click on the `︙icon` to edit or delete an item via a menu focus group. For more information on how to use the `menufocusgroup_template` reusable element, please [click here](/canvas/5.1/canvas-functionality/reference/reusable-elements/menu-focus-elements.md). 

{% hint style="info" %}
There is [another version](/canvas/5.1/canvas-library/blocks/standard-data-table-table-element.md) of this block built using a Table element instead of Bubble's Repeating Group element. You should use this Repeating Group version if you need a more complex data table UI (e.g. nested repeating groups or clicking on a row to expand more details below the row). If you're building a simple data table, then we recommend using the Table element version.
{% endhint %}

## Structure

* When this block is added to a page, it is placed within a **Group main content - Paste group** on the page. This group contains the responsive settings for all blocks.
* This block contains three main groups:
  * **Group Main title block**\
    This group contains the title, add button, and reusable element [filters\_template](https://docs.airdev.co/canvas-pages-and-modules/v/3.0.0/reusables/applyfilters).
  * **Group Inner tables header content**\
    This group contains the table column headers.
  * **RepeatingGroup text** \
    This repeating group that holds the main data that is displayed by the table. For demo purposes, we use Arbitrary Text as a data source. [Click here](/canvas/5.1/canvas-library/updating-asset-rg-data-source.md) to learn how to change the data source.
* This module contains the **menufocus\_template** reusable element. This reusable element contains all the additional actions you can perform (e.g., edit data, delete data, and more)

## How to set up

* Update the data type and data source for **RepeatingGroup text** (you will most likely want to change this to a non-text data type). [Click here](/canvas/5.1/canvas-library/updating-asset-rg-data-source.md) to learn how to change the data source.
* Update header text and the data source of the texts in the block 
* Remove **Button Add** or add a workflow to the button
* For more information on how to customize the filters, please [click here](https://docs.airdev.co/canvas-pages-and-modules/v/3.0.0/reusables/applyfilters).
* Open **menufocus\_template** and modify the type of content displayed in the reusable to be whatever data object for which you want
