Primary table

Description ​

Primary table is the foundational table type for displaying large data volumes and complex functionality.

Appearance ​

Paddings ​

In the primary table, whether it's a header or a row, cells use --spacing-3x token for padding.

You can also make a cell more compact by using the compact property, which reduces the left and right paddings to --spacing-2x.

Styles ​

Primary table styles

Description	Appearance	Styles
Header		background-color: var(--table-th-primary-cell), border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border-secondary)
Header of the scrollable table		When scrolling a page with a table, the header shouldn't have a shadow.
Default row		border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border-secondary)
The last line of the accordion		border-bottom: 1px solid var(--table-td-cell-actions-accordion)

Multi-level header ​

In some cases, a header may comprise two or more rows. To maintain consistency:

• The title of the merged column should always be center-aligned.
• Sorting is not available for the parent header cells in multi-level headers.

In other cases, when space is limited, wrap text to the next line within the cell.
