Adding Tables to Advanced Templates

The New Element toolbar of the template editor includes a button that you can click to insert tables on advanced PDF/HTML templates.

Note:

For better performance, you shouldn't use nested tables, that is, tables within tables.

To insert a table on an advanced template:

  1. Open the advanced template in the template editor.

  2. Place the cursor in the spot where you want to insert the table.

  3. Click the Table button:

    Advanced PDF/HTML Templates New Element toolbar with the Tables button outlined in red.

  4. Complete the Table Properties window and click OK.

    Advanced PDF/HTML Templates Table Properties popup window

    The table is added to the template in the template editor.

You can resize the rows, columns, and cells of a table by positioning the cursor over the cell border and dragging it to the required size.

Note:

You can also use HTML markup source editing to add a table to an advanced template, but it would be more time-consuming and require knowledge of HTML.

Important:

If you have text overlapping a footer or missing from a printout, ensure that any long content is enclosed in an HTML element that will split across pages.

The Report Generator has specific rules for where page breaks can occur. A <table> tag nested inside a <td> tag is cut off at the bottom if it spreads across multiple pages. Only the following tags split correctly if they are spread across multiple pages:

          <table>
<ul>
<p>
<pre>
<ol>
<h1>
<h2>
<h3>
<h4>
<blockquote>
