-------------------------------------------------------------

In the new UI we are using the Angular Material. Their APIs allow the density of the table to be configured. We are currently using the densest option.
{noformat}
@include mat.table-density(-4);{noformat}
Material design is definitely less compact than the old NiFi UI. We could consider not using their API and instead overriding some of their styles. However, that may introduce upgrade challenges down the road as their is no guarantee those styles or the generated mark up remains the same from release to release. Because we opted to use Material design we probably shouldn't try to introduce changes that diverge from it.

Another option we could consider is building a custom table component or bringing in a separate dependency for it but each of those options have own consequences.

> The rows in the tables in the old UI were more compact than the new UI. We should consider options for making the tables in the new UI more dense.
