FAQ: What is the difference between a time-limited table and a record table?
## Answer
A table with a deadline is used when you want to manage a clear "Deadline". A record table is used when you want to save and share data as information.
---
## Overview
Here is an example of how to use a "Deadline Table" and a "Record Table".
## Table With A Deadline
Use it when you want to manage a clear "Deadline".
Example) Progress management, issue management, business negotiation management
To manage deadlines, a table with a deadline has the dedicated fields "Start", "Complete", "Work volume", "Progress Rate", and "Remaining Work Volume". The "Complete" field must be entered, as it is particularly essential for deadline management.
Also, the "[Gantt Chart](/en/manual/table-management-gantt)" can only be used with a table with a deadline.
## Record Table
Use it when you do not need to manage deadlines and want to save and share data as information.
Example) Daily work report, glossary, FAQ, etc.
Record tables do not have dedicated fields like a table with a deadline. Record tables are also suitable when you want to use them as master tables.
