Cloud-hosted Retool has been updated with the following changes. These changes will also be available in a future release of Self-hosted Retool.

We rebuilt the Table component to improve customizability, and scalability for our customers. The new Table is capable of rendering, updating, and scrolling through hundreds of thousands of rows and hundreds of columns with diverse data types fast.

It also features deeper customization options:

• Data manipulation (filtering, sorting, pagination) works out-of-the-box and can be configured client- or server-side.
• Advanced filtering and sorting options, such as nested filtering and multi-column sort.
• Primary key configuration to maintain state (like Row selection, or change set) through complex filters, sorts, and pagination operations.
• More intuitive Tag (dropdown and multiselect) columns with the option list editor.
• Column-level event handlers.
• Toolbar actions for more opportunities to perform action with table data.
• Redesigned action buttons, more intelligent defaults (including column width and type), cell captions, column header tooltips.
• Smoother editable cell interactions and improved keyboard shortcuts.

The new Table component is available today and replaces the previous Table component. Existing customers can continue to use the previous version, which is available as the Table (legacy) component.

Check out our docs or the migration guide to get started. To learn more about building a data-driven dashboard with the new Table component, check out the following walkthrough.

Today we announced major changes to our pricing to make Retool more accessible to as many teams as possible. Here’s what we’ve updated:

• Instead of charging the same price for any user at your company, we now charge different rates for Standard users (people who build apps in Retool) and a significantly lower amount for End users (people who only view or use Retool apps).
• We’re also adding an annual billing option to our Team and Business plans so that you can pay annually and get an additional 20% discount per user.
• And, we’re introducing a Self-hosted Business plan for teams that prefer to self-host and need more granular permissions, audit logs, reusable modules, and other security features. To access these new plans, make sure to upgrade your Self-hosted Retool deployment to v2.117 or later. Existing Free, Team, and Business plan customers can switch over to the new plans from your billing page at any time and we expect that many of you will find that the new pricing better meets your team’s needs. If you’d like to stay on your current plan, there’s no action required—your current plan will still be available until the end of 2024 and we’ll provide plenty of notice before then. To learn more, check out our pricing page.

Using the built-in Mobile Push Notifications resource, you can write queries that send push notifications to specific users from any Retool web app, Retool Mobile app, or Retool Workflow via webhook. Contact us to get started or read our push notification docs to learn more.

You don't have to upgrade existing apps that use the legacy Table component. You can continue to configure the legacy Table in your existing apps, and then use the new Table component when you have an app to build.

If you want to migrate an existing app to use the new Table component, use this guide to learn more about the differences before migrating.

Column configuration​

The new Table no longer supports the Auto column format. Each column must have an explicit format. Each column can contain an optional source key, which maps the column to a field in the data source. If the source key is omitted, the column is effectively a custom column.

Properties​

Some commonly used Table properties have been renamed. Anywhere in your app where you reference these properties, you’ll want to update those references to the new property names.

selectedRow​

The property to access the Table’s selected row changed from table1.selectedRow.data to table1.selectedRow.

currentRow​

currentRow in a column’s mapped values is now currentSourceRow, to make it explicit that it references the underlying source row’s data.

recordUpdates and changeSet​

The legacy Table’s edited fields were exposed in recordUpdates and changeSet. These fields are now changesetArray and changesetObject, respectively. These properties no longer contain the entire row’s data, and instead only contain the modified fields.

Pagination controls​

Pagination controls are now nested under table1.pagination. This means referencing a table’s pageSize, for example, is done using table1.pagination.pageSize. Pagination is now accessible in the Table’s Add-ons section in the Inspect tab.

Save and cancel buttons​

The new Table exposes the built-in save and cancel buttons for bulk editing in the Add-ons section of the Inspect tab.

Sorting controls​

The legacy Table exposed several fields to represent the Table’s sorting state: defaultSortDescending, defaultSortByColumn, sortedColumn, sortedDesc. The new Table exposes the sortArray property, which represents the entire sort state of the table.

Filtering controls​

The legacy Table did not support nested filtering. The new Table supports nested filters with the filterStack property.

Feature comparison​

See below for a feature-by-feature comparison of the legacy Table and the new Table.

Updated approaches to existing features​

Legacy features unsupported in the new Table component​

Retool Mobile now enables you build white-label Retool Mobile apps and launch them in the iOS App Store and Google Play. With a white-labeled app, you can choose your app’s name, icon, and splash screen, and also manage the version of the app available to your users to take full control of what you build. White-labeled apps are available to customers on our Enterprise plans. Contact us to get started or read our white-label app docs to learn more.
