Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for automatic generation of customized lower-level table templates based on data in an associated higher-level table structure are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve maintaining the higher-level table structure having first rows, first columns, and first cells at intersections of first rows and first columns; receiving an input for triggering generation of a lower-level table template tied to the higher-level table structure; analyzing at least one higher-level table characteristic including higher-level table type, higher-level table grouping, higher-level table content, higher-level table size, higher-level particular column heading, higher-level particular item label, or higher-level author; determining a customization of the lower-level table template; associating the customization with the lower-level table template to form a customized lower-level table structure; and causing the lower-level table structure to be displayed in association with the higher-level table structure.
