Tables

In CDM (Collaborative Document Management), tables allow users to organize and present structured information within document sections. Using the intuitive table tool, users can easily define the number of rows and columns, apply formatting, and manage table properties through a dedicated toolbar. Tables help improve clarity by neatly aligning data points, making information easier to compare, read, and understand.

When to Add Tables to CDM Documents

You should add tables to CDM documents when you need to:

Present structured data such as schedules, lists, comparison charts, or datasets within a document.
Organize related information into a clear and readable format, improving document usability.
Create sections where users can easily scan rows and columns to understand relationships between different pieces of data.
Support textual content with additional structured visual organization, reducing the need for lengthy explanations.

To Add Tables to CDM Documents

Open the Document you would like to work with and click the Table Icon in the text editor ribbon.
Select the number of rows and columns by highlighting and clicking over the dimensions of the table.
