Product Table Properties
Table Cells
1) By default, the table will be added with the Name cell and the Price cell. If additional cells need to be added for additional attributes (Description, Calories, Medium Price, Large Price; etc.) the Add Row option under point 8. will add a new cell. When you click on a cell it will turn blue and you will see options to make changes to the various properties below.
2) The Field dropdown will allow you to assign various attributes to a cell. You notice that there are also a variety of formatting options from this dropdown as well.
3) Colum Span will define how many columns you would like a row to span. The Row Span defines how many rows a cell should span. Width with increase or decrease the width of the cell (you can also drag the edges of the internal sides of the cell table to increase/decrease the width of each cell).
Row and Cell Font Styles
4) Row Style will apply a Font Style to all cells in the row. Cell style will apply a style to just the cell you are working on (this is the most popular for applications where the styles should be different for the Name cell, Price cell; etc.).
5) Apply Table Cell must be clicked after you have made changes to a cell – this saves the changes made to the cell. Remove Cell will remove a cell from the table. Add Cell to Row will add a new cell to the row. Cancel will cancel any changes you’ve made (the process is the same when selecting ‘AddRow‘ – you will need to click on the cell and use the Field to select an attribute).
