Custom Tabular Report
Grid View
Grid view displays each Confluence content item as a visual card in a responsive multi-column grid. It is ideal for dashboards, team directories with profile photos, and any report where visual browsing is more important than data comparison.

When to Use Grid View
- Team / people directories - profile photo + name + role in each card
- Visual content galleries - page thumbnails or attachment images
- Portfolio dashboards - visual showcase of projects or deliverables
- Topic hubs - cards for each topic area with a preview image and link
- Anywhere a visual, browsable layout is better than a row-based table

Best for: Team directories with profile photos, visual page catalogs, portfolio dashboards - any report where visual browsing matters more than side-by-side data comparison.
