A collaboration database service may allow users to create, edit, and share collaborative content on custom databases, and may also integrate and interoperate with various productivity applications. For example, a collaboration database engine of the service may detect creation or modification of a table through an application associated with the service. In response to a request to add a choice type column to the table, the engine may automatically select, provide, and enable modification of a set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to choices. The engine may then provide the choice type column for display within the table such that each cell of the choice type column is automatically and/or manually populated with at least one of the choices. The choice may be represented by a symbol and/or associated text value from the modified set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to the choice.

Single or multi-choice data presentation through collaboration database service

Data presentation functionality associated with a collaboration database may be provided. A presentation of a table in conjunction with a collaboration database may be detected. At least one field in the table that includes people type data may also be detected. Initial letters associated with a person or an entity may be detected as input into the at least one field. A type of entry of the initial letters may be detected. A local data source may be searched to identify matching entries. Suggestions may then be displayed. If one of the suggestions is selected, additional information associated with the selected suggestion may be displayed on a contact card in a vicinity of the at least one field. An interactive functionality associated with the additional information through the contact card may be provided upon selection of the at least one field when the table is presented.
