Table Control

The Table control allows you to create a layout table in views and forms to help you organize other controls and apply styling to cells.

  1. Create a view.
  2. Drag the control onto the canvas. You can find the control in the Layout section of the Toolbox.
  3. Specify the number of columns and rows to use.
  4. Drag controls to the cells of the table.
  5. Configure the controls if necessary.
  6. Configure the rest of the Table control's properties as necessary.
  7. Configure cell properties if necessary.
  8. Configure rules as necessary.
  9. Run the view.

You can find the control in the Layout section of the Toolbox.

  • Show/Hide: The Visible property allows you to show or hide the control through rules
  • Enable/Disable: The Enabled property allows you to enable or disable the control through rules
  • Specify the edit state of view and form controls: You can specify if controls must be read only or editable
  • The control is also available when designing forms
