# Tables
NetBox employs the [`django-tables2`](https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/) library for rendering dynamic object tables. These tables display lists of objects, and can be sorted and filtered by various parameters.
## NetBoxTable
To provide additional functionality beyond what is supported by the stock `Table` class in `django-tables2`, NetBox provides the `NetBoxTable` class. This custom table class includes support for:
* User-configurable column display and ordering
* Custom field & custom link columns
* Automatic prefetching of related objects
It also includes several default columns:
* `pk` - A checkbox for selecting the object associated with each table row (where applicable)
* `id` - The object's numeric database ID, as a hyperlink to the object's view (hidden by default)
* `actions` - A dropdown menu presenting object-specific actions available to the user
### Example
```python
# tables.py
import django_tables2 as tables
from netbox.tables import NetBoxTable
from .models import MyModel
class MyModelTable(NetBoxTable):
name = tables.Column(
linkify=True
)
...
class Meta(NetBoxTable.Meta):
model = MyModel
fields = ('pk', 'id', 'name', ...)
default_columns = ('pk', 'name', ...)
```
### Table Configuration
The NetBoxTable class features dynamic configuration to allow users to change their column display and ordering preferences. To configure a table for a specific request, simply call its `configure()` method and pass the current HTTPRequest object. For example:
```python
table = MyModelTable(data=MyModel.objects.all())
table.configure(request)
```
This will automatically apply any user-specific preferences for the table. (If using a generic view provided by NetBox, table configuration is handled automatically.)
