SingleRow

Singlerow is a term used in information design and data management to describe a unit that occupies a single horizontal line. In data contexts, a singlerow refers to one record in a table or dataset, with each column representing a field value for that record. The concept is widely encountered in relational databases, spreadsheets, and data export formats, where rows correspond to individual entities and columns to attributes.

In user interface design, a singlerow layout describes a horizontal arrangement of items within a single row. This pattern is common in navigation bars, toolbars, carousels, and data dashboards where elements are placed side by side. When space is limited or content is scrollable, horizontal overflow may be enabled to keep all items on a single row while preserving readability.

Implementation considerations vary by context. In web design, a singlerow UI often uses flexbox or CSS grid to align items in a row, with overflow-x set to auto for horizontal scrolling on small screens. In data schemas, a singlerow structure emphasizes consistent column types and clear primary keys for efficient retrieval, updates, and data integrity. Access patterns typically involve selecting, inserting, or updating a single row by its unique identifier.

Although not a formal standard, the term singlerow is widely understood as a descriptive label across tables, spreadsheets, and user interfaces to indicate a single horizontal sequence of related content or data. See also: row, column, table, layout.
