I believe this is a vital and essential part of notes for those of us who like to structure and organise ideas.
(Just look at the number of tables in Logos resources) - people really do use this method of structuring thoughts!!1 -
@james-38 agreed.0
-
This week I'm preaching in Matthew 6, and tables would be really helpful to highlight Jesus' repetition in the giving, praying, and fasting passages.0
-
Yes, I find myself regularly putting notes in Evernote due to the lack of Tables in Logos Notes0
-
-
@james-38 agreed. This has been requested for awhile.0
-
@davidtaylorjr Likewise. However, I find they languish there and get forgotten about.0
-
@mluu83-32 affirmative0
-
Absolutely think this is very vital for creating comparisons and charts0
-
Totally agreed. Tables are indispensable.0
-
Beyond tables, I'd like to see further metadata included in notes for greater context and search ability. I've created a separate post here if you'd like to vote: https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/add-metadata-to-notes0

Notes would be really handy. Would it even be possible to use HTML in the background for notes? Thus things like tables and headings could just use HTML formatting.0

I would like to have the ability to add tables to my Bible Notes. I have many tables with my notes in WordSearch, and I would think this would be important to me to keep them going in Logos.0
-
I am working on my survey of the Kings of Israel and Judah today. I wanted to make a couple tables in notes to compare/contrast each king. This feature is a must-have!0
-
Being able to add tables to Notes would be very helpful0
-
Seriously? I see from a search on this question that this feature was requested in 2009. RTF files could do this. We had it in BibleWorks. Hmmm. Sorry about that!0
-
I agree, it would be REALLY nice to be able to have tables in notes. For me, it wouldn't need to be anything fancy, just the ability to create/delete rows and columns, place text and have the ability to edit within the fields, etc. I would love to see this added in the near future!0
-
Yes please add this feature to Logos (Notes and Sermons). Indeed it's a vital function. Sometimes I need to add contrast and I want to display that in two columns one against another. Sometimes I need to display my bulleted outline horizontally in a form of table, so I can see points and compare them. Thank you!0
-
YES! Tables are absolutely necessary in Logos Notes for organizing columns of information.0
-
Definitely need this please!0
-
This is especially useful for Inductive Bible Study if you are doing compare/contrasts, lists, etc. Please please PLEEEEAAASSSEEE make this a priority!0
-
Please enable table creation in Logos notes. I used OneNote & Evernote for organizing my thoughts and would like to never touch those applications ever again. When I'm working on my studies, I rather only use a single application but the notes portion built into logos is extremely limited.0
-
I would love this feature. Have many such tables in my WordSearch.0
-
Agreed. Tables are one of my favorites ways to organize text in Word and other tools. Adding this Logos notes (and Sermon Docs) would be great.0
-
PLEASE!!! Tables would be such a huge assistance with organizing, notetaking, and research.0
-
Absolutely agree!!!0
-
If this is to difficult to do immediately, then start with markdown table generators. But please add tables0
-
Yes, we need tables in Notes! I'm currently preaching at the local Rescue Mission. They provide New Living Translation bibles for their guests at chapel. I use the New American Standard. It would be a tremendous help to have BOTH translations side by side in my notes.0
-
It would be great to just have a Markdown editor (with table support)0

The Notes feature of Logos is one of the most important. Recent improvements have made it easier to use our Notes as a great repository of information gathered during studies. (Bravo for allowing graphics; this has been more than nice.)
In my work and in the opinion of others in the forum, tables are an essential part of note taking. Ours is an age where people are increasingly comfortable organizing their notes in a tabular format. Each row is a record of data and each column contains an attribute of a record.
When composing notes that are based on data (e.g., patriarchs and ages, locations and topological features, books and literary characteristics) the table is the de facto standard for presenting the data. In the academic world tables are critical to good notes. The absence of this feature means that we are often forced to go outside of Logos to do the kind of editing that we expect in even the most rudimentary of web-based editors.
Here below is a minimalistic list of table-editing features that we are needing in Logos notes:
Cell Merge - we need the ability to merge cells. This makes it possible to create row headers, column headers, and summaries.
Cell Shading - even if the shading is grayscale it would help make the table content easier to read.
Table Alignment - the user should be able to make the table left-aligned, right-aligned, or centered.
Thank you for taking time out to read this suggestion.
