Table

The Table component is responsible for recognizing tables. It can be used instead of the Table (visual) component if you must indicate specific column numbers to use for column breaks in order to achieve the result you want.

Care should be taken when using the Table component in a default rendering set because the Table component will recognize almost every screen in the selected region, and no rendering items lower in the list will be recognized.

A recognized table can be rendered by the following widgets:
The following figure shows how a table component might appear on your host screen:

Example of table component
  1. Title rows
  2. Column breaks
The following settings can be configured for this component:
Column breaks:
A comma-separated list of column numbers where column breaks are wanted. For example, specifying 1,7,22 would indicate that new columns should begin in columns 1, 7 and 22. When the Restore Defaults button is clicked, the Column breaks field is filled with values based on the Visual table default recognition values.
Note:
  1. Column breaks can also be added or removed by using the mouse to select a column in the host screen view, right-clicking, and selecting either Add column or Remove column. Left-clicking on a column can also add or remove a column break. Column breaks are indicated by a dotted vertical line on the host screen view.
  2. Column breaks cannot split an input field.
  3. For information about using this setting with DBCS support see Table.
Include empty rows
If selected, empty rows (rows without any visible text or input fields) will be included in the rendered table or graph.
Table rows to exclude
The comma-separated or ranged set of rows to exclude from the recognized table. This setting is useful for hiding specific rows of data on a table or graph. The rows represented by this value are based on the recognized table, not on the actual host screen. Example values: 1,2,3...., 1,2-4, 3-5.
Table columns to exclude
The comma-separated or ranged set of logical columns to exclude from the recognized table. The columns represented by this value are based on the recognized table, not on the actual host screen. Example values: 1,2,3...., 1,2-4, 3-5.
Number of title rows
Specifies the number of rows, starting at the top of the region, that should be rendered as the header. If the value is greater than 1, for each column, the header lines will be rendered as a string in a single row.
