I like to use tables as it will allow me to organize the data in a better manner. But now inside my application I am using tables to represents different data which can give misleading meaning. for example I am displaying the list of all record in a table such as:-

Then I am also displaying the details of each record in a table where rows will have different context:-

For me the tables seems clear ,, but am I using tables in the right context?. Or usually table rows should represents the same type of objects (for example different organizations, not different properties about an organization )? ?

Answer 1

Well. Most systems show information using tables. Look at any forum software, for instance. In terms of user-friendliness, you could emphasize your header rows on your top table. On your bottom table, you could emphasize the left row (a darker background or stronger font).

Answer 2

In my opinion using tables in this scenery is ok. All data is exhibited in simple and clear way.
