Super Sheet: A Collaborative Online Spreadsheet 104

What is Super Table (超级表格)?

Super Table (超级表格) is a multi-user shared online spreadsheet tool that combines spreadsheet and form capabilities. It allows multiple users to view or edit at the same time, supports mobile form data collection, Excel import/export, and flexible permission settings. It can be applied to sales, e-commerce, educational administration and teaching scenarios, and can also be used to DIY simple information management systems (such as OA, CRM) by combining spreadsheets, forms, and statistical tables. Compared with Excel, it emphasizes collaboration more, requires the first row to be a header row, offers customer support to help build complex applications, and supports multiple deployment methods, covering more than 20 industries including the Internet and education.

Core Features of Super Table

Data Collaboration and Editing Features

• Multi-user collaboration: Supports multiple users viewing or editing the same spreadsheet at the same time, with precise control over the collaboration scope (the entire sheet or specific rows/columns), avoiding version confusion.

• Data collection: Collects data through mobile forms. Online spreadsheets or imported Excel files can be converted into online forms and published. Submitters can still query and modify their submitted data afterward, reducing entry errors.

• Format compatibility and editing: Supports entering information, inserting images and files in cells; allows importing and exporting Excel files and batch-editing records; merged cells are not supported, but simple formulas are.

• Permission management: Spreadsheets can be shared with specified people or "anyone else", with "read-only" or "edit" permissions set on rows and columns for the shared parties, ensuring data security.

Special Features and Extended Capabilities

• DIY application building: Combining spreadsheets, forms, statistical tables and charts with permission control can quickly form simple information management systems, such as OA (Office Automation), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), HR management, training management, grade management, etc.

• Complex application support: With the assistance of customer support, complex applications can be created, such as the "Creative Advertising SaaS System", covering the entire workflow from pitch, project initiation, supplier management to customer payment, supporting complex procurement management and approval scenarios.

Data Visualization and Process Management

• Dashboards: Provides visualized data tables, financial reports, and summary tables, such as "Annual Sales Comparison by Group" and "Annual Sales Statistics" charts, presenting data intuitively.

• Process features: Small-scale ERP, OA, and CRM can be flexibly built, such as a "Payment Process", supporting operations like creating project payment orders, setting up approvers (e.g., financial accountant, financial manager, BOSS), and notifying of review results at each node.

Application Scenarios of Super Table

• Sales management: Track sales leads, opportunities, orders and processes, and monitor chain store business data in real time. Frontline staff enter sales data via mobile phones, and the sales director can view them in real time.

• E-commerce management: Multiple customer service agents share the same spreadsheet with real-time sync; after customers submit after-sales request forms, the platform can assign customer service to handle them or share them with suppliers for processing.

• Educational administration and teaching management

• Academic staff: Collect course, schedule adjustment, and registration information through shared forms/spreadsheets.

• Teachers: Collect assignment information from students and parents.

• Education bureau: Collect and query information from schools and parents through shared spreadsheets.

• Chain store management: Stores fill in daily business situations, and the data is automatically aggregated into the headquarters' spreadsheet for real-time viewing. Suitable for banks, tobacco companies, and telecom companies collecting data from subordinate institutions, with view/edit scope assignable by permission.

• Data reporting: For scenarios where teams frequently collect and report data and require "layer-by-layer approval" and "layer-by-layer task assignment", improving the accuracy and efficiency of data reporting.

The latter has higher data caps (500,000 rows/month) and more data recovery attempts (3 times/month); the Private Deployment edition includes all features of the Enterprise Advanced edition, supports on-premises deployment, and pricing requires consultation with an advisor.

FAQ

Question 1: How does Super Table meet the enterprise team's need for "multi-user collaborative data management"?

Super Table meets the need through three core capabilities: First, real-time multi-user operation permissions, supporting multiple users viewing or editing the same spreadsheet (or specified rows and columns) simultaneously, avoiding version conflicts caused by traditional Excel file transfers; second, multi-device data synchronization, providing a mobile form data collection feature, allowing frontline staff (such as store employees and salespeople) to enter data via mobile phones anytime, while managers can view aggregated results in real time; third, fine-grained permission control, spreadsheets can be shared with specified people or everyone, with "read-only" or "edit" permissions set on rows/columns (for example, financial data can only be modified by finance staff, while others are read-only), ensuring data security. In addition, it supports Excel import/export and batch editing, further improving collaboration efficiency.

Question 2: How is Super Table's "DIY Application" feature implemented? What scenarios can it be applied to, and what value can it bring?

The implementation logic of Super Table's "DIY Application" feature is: combining the three core modules within the tool—spreadsheets (data storage), forms (data collection), and statistical tables/charts (data visualization)—along with fine-grained permission control (such as different roles viewing different modules), allowing simple information management systems to be quickly generated without complex code development. Applicable enterprise management scenarios include: ① OA office systems (such as leave approval, payment processes: creating a "Payment Request" spreadsheet + "Approval Process", setting up applicant, financial reviewer, BOSS approval nodes, etc.); ② CRM customer relationship management systems (combining "Customer Information Spreadsheet", "Sales Lead Form", and "Order Statistics Table" to achieve end-to-end tracking of customers from leads to deals); ③ HR management systems (building "Employee Information Spreadsheet", "Attendance Form", and "Payroll Summary Table" to centrally manage HR data). The value it brings to enterprises: First, lower costs, no need to purchase professional ERP/CRM systems, achieving personalized management needs at low cost; second, higher efficiency, avoiding switching between multiple systems, with data flowing within the same platform to reduce duplicate entry; third, flexible adaptation, spreadsheets and processes can be adjusted anytime according to changes in business needs, without relying on technical teams, quickly responding to business demands.
