# 2.10 Working with Data Tables

This page is a quick starting point for BetterForms data tables.

If you are deciding between list-style layouts and data tables:

* Use [Creating Your First List View](/getting-started/ide-quick-tour/first-app/creating-your-first-list-view.md) for simpler repeated record layouts.
* Use [Data Tables in the IDE](/getting-started/ide-quick-tour/4.-common-customizations-and-expanding-your-app/4.3-displaying-data-in-tables-page-builder-and-element-config.md) when you want sorting, filtering, pagination, row actions, or richer table presentation.

## Start Here

* [Data Table component reference](/reference/components-overview/common/tables2.md)
* [Data Tables in the IDE](/getting-started/ide-quick-tour/4.-common-customizations-and-expanding-your-app/4.3-displaying-data-in-tables-page-builder-and-element-config.md)
* [Vue-Tables-2 options reference](https://matanya.gitbook.io/vue-tables-2/options-api#options)

## Typical Use Cases

* admin and management screens
* reporting and analytics views
* searchable multi-column record lists
* row actions, details, and custom cell rendering

Use the reference page for supported BetterForms schema keys, then use the IDE guide for practical setup patterns.
