Can you collapse a connected table inside a form to save screen space?

Yes. In Jestor, every connected table displayed inside a form can be collapsed, leaving only the title visible and saving screen space without losing access to the content.

When the form turns into an endless scroll

Forms with many connected tables — like a complete employee record, with hours, reimbursements, and reviews — tend to turn into a giant scrolling screen. That's tiring for whoever fills it out and makes it harder to find the right information.

The problem is even bigger when several of those tables don't need constant attention, but still take up fixed space on the screen.

How to collapse a connected table

Add the connected table block in the superform editor.
Choose to display it as "table," since that view supports collapsing.
Set which fields appear before deciding the default state (open or collapsed).
Click the table's title to collapse or expand it whenever you want.
Combine it with the full-screen option when you need to focus on just that block.

Table state	What shows on screen	When to use it
Expanded	All fields and records of the connected table	When the team needs to check or edit it frequently
Collapsed	Just the block title, clickable	Secondary information that doesn't need constant attention

Why choose Jestor?

Jestor even lets you split connected tables by color and section within the same form, so teams like HR can view performance data, reimbursements, and vacation time for an employee all in the same place, but organized independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does collapsing work on any connected table? Yes, as long as the table is set to the "table" view inside the connected block.

Does collapsing the table delete the data? No, the data stays there; collapsing just hides the view until the user expands it again.

Can I have several connected tables, some open and some collapsed? Yes, each connected table block is configured independently within the same form.
