Assign content to a table column

A table is comprised of columns and rows. This procedure tells you how to associate a field from the Data View to a column header and body element.

Although this procedure tells you how to associate a field to a column, a column can contain any content - to include another table, a chart, any content.
  1. Select the Data View tab. Identify the field you wish to use for a column in the table object.
  2. Select the Create an element based on the document context icon from the Data View toolbar.
  3. Using relative positioning, drag the field from the Data View and drop it into the header row for the desired column. It creates a column header. The column title is placed as a WordBox object. The Class property reflects that this is a title for the column, rather than a value.
  4. Using relative positioning, drag the field from the Data View and drop it into the body row for the desired column. It creates an expression with the value of the field. The field is placed as a drawable reflective of the data type of the field. The Class property reflects that this display the value (instead of the title).
