What are Data Tables?
Understand how data tables show list-style information that isn't tied to users, and the four sources you can build one from.
When to use this
Section titled “When to use this”Data Tables let you display lists of information on your screens that are not tied to individual users. Use Data Tables when you want to show rankings, opportunity lists, inventory snapshots, or any structured data that comes from external sources rather than Hoopla user metrics.
What Data Tables show
Section titled “What Data Tables show”Data Tables display rows and columns of information that you define. Common examples include:
- Top 10 sales opportunities from last month

Unlike user-based leaderboards, Data Tables can show any list-style data you want to highlight on your displays.
