VC Portfolio Dashboard: View & Edit Companies in One Place

‍

Overview

This use case covers a fully functional Table component in Retool that connects to various data sources like PostgreSQL, Google Sheets, or a REST API. The table is designed for teams that need a powerful data viewer with built-in filtering, sorting, inline edits, and custom actions.

It can handle large datasets with server-side pagination, lets users group or download data, and even edit rows directly. For power users, row selection and row-level actions allow batch editing or running custom workflows with just a few clicks.

Perfect for ops, support, product, and internal tooling teams who need fast, flexible data tables.
