Indicate overflow content

Indicate overflow content Bad Practice
Indicate overflow content Best Practice

The contents of a table don't always fit in fixed-sized cells, so overflows are inevitable. When content overflows in tables, you can choose to:

  • Indicate that the text has been truncated using ellipses
  • Provide tooltips containing the full text when the mouse hovers the cell
  • Provide an option for users to adjust the size of columns and rows
  • Allow users to hide and reorder columns to only display the information that is relevant to them.
