We require a bit more sophisticated table component for our solution, and have used [datatables.net](http://datatables.net) successfully in the past. Is it possible to use [datatables.net](http://datatables.net) inside a custom html dashboard block? If so, can you also trigger a workflow from the custom html dashboard block code to, for example, update device tags?

Hi @Edward_Cline,
I do believe this would be possible, but difficult to implement, and a slight deviation from the intended use of the block. However, this use case falls into one of the many reasons we created [Experiences](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/overview/). Experiences have [Experience Views](https://www.losant.com/blog/platform-update-20171103), where you can do almost anything you want to the client side user-facing application. This will allow you to display your dashboards and entirely custom user interfaces, and you can also trigger workflows! Experience Views are entirely customizable, so a more sophisticated, redesigned table is easily attainable.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Julia
