Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm attempting to create a table style roster that would pull from a character's profile but display based on position/department within a manifest. This is for a collaborative writing group and open positions would also need to be displayed on the roster so not all of them would be created by a "character" and would need to display with a vacant/join now sort of option.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I'm honestly not even sure where to begin.
Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello,
I suggest you try these:
1) Create a custom post type "Crew"
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-post-type/
2) Setup custom fields and taxonomies in post type "Crew"

3) Follow our document to setup a post view, display it as table layout mode, and enable custom search form and sorting control

Is the custom search required for this to function?
I was attempting to use the view but anytime I created a table I was unable to insert anything into table fields.
I suggest you try to setup the post view with classic editor, for example:
1) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General, in section "Editing experience", enable option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build"
2) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Views, setup the post view in table layout mode
For t he question:
Is the custom search required for this to function?
It depends on yourself, if you want to filter/sort the results in frontend, then you need to use custom search form.
Still looking at this, please keep open.
I have marked this thread as "Waiting for feedback" status, you can update here if you need more assistance for it.
