Density modes

Density changes how tightly Foundation packs rows in the grid and the select bar. Pick a comfortable mode for daily editing, a tighter mode when you need to see hundreds of rows at once on a big monitor.

Density is per-user, remembered across sessions, and applies to every lens you open.

Change density

In the toolbar, click the Density control (three horizontal lines icon).
Pick a mode from the dropdown: Comfortable, Standard, Compact, Super-compact, or Micro.
The grid re-renders immediately. Your choice is saved for next time.

You can also cycle through modes with Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + 1..5 — see Keyboard shortcuts.

What each mode does

Comfortable — the most roomy. Taller rows, bigger fonts, generous padding. Best for detailed editing and screen-sharing in meetings.
Standard — the default. Balanced row height and font size. Works well for most day-to-day work.
Compact — trims padding and drops the font a step. Fits substantially more rows on screen without hurting legibility.
Super-compact — aggressive squeeze for power users on large monitors. Icons shrink and summary text wraps less.
Micro — the tightest. Designed for hundreds of rows at a glance, for visual scans only. Inline editing still works but is best done in a looser density.

Where density applies

Every row in the grid.
The select bar metrics and action buttons.
Column headers, including sort and group controls.
Inline editors (dropdowns, date pickers) scale with the mode.

What density doesn’t change

The Inspector panel width — that has its own compact toggle.
The Gantt timeline, which has its own zoom controls.
Modal dialogs like Share and Import, which always render at a comfortable size.

Tips

If rows feel cramped, bump up one mode — every mode is legible without squinting.
If you’re on a laptop, keep at Standard or Compact so you don’t have to scroll for simple tasks.
Density choice travels with you — different users can look at the same lens at different densities without affecting each other.
