Structure

Controls the composition of data. You can do the following:

• Edit the title or column headings. Double-click the text to display the Text Component Editor.
• Edit the column widths (see Column Width below).
• Edit the content of the data columns. Double-click a Column Value cell to display the Text Component Editor.
• Rearrange the order of columns. Select the column and drag it. The first column is reserved as the tag column and cannot be moved.

Table Headers

Table Title (for example, “Line Table”)

Specifies the title contents. To edit the title, double-click the text (such as “Line Table”) to display the Text Component Editor. For more information, see Text Component Editor.

Column Title

Specifies the column heading contents. To edit the headings, double-click the text to display the Text Component Editor.

Note: Except for alignment table styles, the Properties tab in the Text Component Editor is disabled when you edit column heading text.

Columns

Column Width

Specifies column widths. Click and select one of the following options:

• Automatic: Sizes the column width according to the longest text string in the table.
• Manual: Sets the column width according to a specified character width.
  Note: When you specify a fixed width and do not select the Wrap Text option, and the content exceeds the column width, the value in the column is a series of #### characters equal to the width of the column.

Column Value

Specifies the content for each table column. The content can be derived from a combination of static text and property fields associated with a feature.

To edit the column values, double-click a cell in the row. Use the Properties tab in the Text Component Editor to define the column’s dynamic content.

Adds a column at the end of the table. Because the new column is empty, you must define a column heading, width, and value. The column width is set to Automatic width by default.

Deletes a column. Select the column you want to delete and then click the icon.

The first column cannot be deleted.
