Defining Table Columns

To create a new Table Column:

1. In the Columns subtab of a Table, click Add. The system displays the Create Column screen.
2. Choose one of the following options:
   • Create a New Column and Variable. Choose this option if no Variable definition exists that meets your needs. See Create a New Column and Variable.
