Creating a dynamic table

Dynamic tables are tables where you can specify column data type, sort values, or make cells required for filling in. You can use a table directly or embed it in a Wiki page.

There are multiple ways to create a table:

• From any Wiki page, by setting the address of a new table manually.

• In a specific cluster, by creating a subpage.

• In the page editing window, by clicking the button in the top panel.

      • To make the column cells mandatory, enable the Mandatory option. This field will be highlighted.
