UI Improvement New
Trees also grow on DatoCMS
July 25th, 2025
DatoCMS has long let editors organize records hierarchically. However, the feature was missing some elements to be considered as complete.
We covered the missing parts πββοΈ
From today, a new "Tabular View" for trees of records is available - aside from the "Compact View", giving a bit more consistency on how records are visible across all model types. It brings all the freedom in playing with columns you know from the regular item list to hierarchically organized records too, without losing out on the drag-and-drop fun.
We also removed the limitation to the number of records that can be organized in a tree: both the tabular and the compact view are now paginated, and records are incrementally shown as they are loaded.
