We need a set of components that will help us produce interfaces for interacting with large lists of data more quickly and consistently. Our current table is simplistic and we have been creating one-off solutions each time.
Component: https://edx.github.io/paragon/table/datatable
Known use cases
We have many table or list heavy administration screens in our Enterprise products. A subset of them can be found documented in Miro.

Table Review!
Present: Lael Birch (Deactivated) Adam Stankiewicz Adam Butterworth (Deactivated) Adrienne Bolger (Deactivated)
...
Backend sorting is client side. → Server side sorting should be added in
v1.0the alpha.Multiple actions in a row are possible (fully customizable via columns). No need to bake in any constraints. Design will have guidelines
Filters (Adam S): can we get things in there other than text fields?
They can be made anything you want, but you will need to not use the table wrapper
Move forward on filters sidebar for v1.0. For bulk enrollment we’ll use publish before “1.0” and label this component as Alpha. Don’t expect TableWrapper will change very much.
Bulk enrollment is waiting on this, after that. Public explore catalog widget which will definitely need the sidebar. It will need to live on the marketing page. Another one is bulk revoke subscription management
Adrienne, expects Lael to not be the only one building this ongoing. Others will need to pick this us. TBD on who/when/how.

Enterprise UI meeting

We discussed how the enterprise time line is getting tight, and how it might be best to do an MVP of a table without filters if possible. After the spike and ticket creation, we’ll have a better idea of where to go with this.

Review of initial table design
Adam Butterworth presented an initial design and received feedback
Discussed adding a “table status” row that keeps the state of the table (rows selected, select all, etc.)

We will start making Paragon tickets after that meeting.
