AI Table lets you set the primary field (the first column) to type Doc — every record becomes a document, turning your table into a doc-friendly database.

What can the Doc type be used for?

Influencer management

If you run operations at a livestream commerce company and use AI Table to manage influencers, the table used to hold only structured info — handle, follower count, niche. Now, open the row and create a full illustrated profile for each influencer right in the same record.

Basics

Upgrade an existing table to “table as doc”

Double-click the first field name to open the editor — pick Doc as the type to enable table as doc. New tables ship with this turned on by default. A doc icon appears next to the text in the first column. The icon distinguishes “no doc yet” from “doc created”.

Edit a doc

Click the View button on the first field of any row to expand the record. Click the blank area below in the right detail pane to start writing — once you type, the record’s doc is created. Type ”/” to summon doc tools; the doc toolbar also appears at the top — the editing experience matches DingTalk Docs.

Edit in doc mode

Click the icon in the upper-right and pick Open as doc — switch to full doc editing mode. Doc mode unlocks all DingTalk Docs features. Edits and comments sync between the two views.

Change how records expand

Click the icon to the right of the view name to open view settings — switch the record-view style. AI Table supports three ways to expand a record:
  1. View in right side panel
  2. View in modal
  3. View as full page

Share

Click Share in the upper-right — pick Send to chat or Copy record link.

Permissions

Advanced permissions for “table as doc” split into three parts:
  1. Title — default view permission; you can also enable add and edit.
  2. Fields — display follows field permissions; only manage permission can add fields.
  3. Doc — body inherits the title’s permissions by default. Role-group member info syncs to doc permissions; doc permissions can be edited inside the doc. The effective permission is the higher of advanced and doc permissions.
Note: users with add but no edit can edit on first creation, then view-only afterwards.
