In this section you can find details on the setting options of Table .

General: The general standard settings are found under Section 10.4.2, “General settings”. At tables there is the feature that the overflow pages can have another specification than the first page.

Overflow x / Overflow y: Table position in the overflow section

	Note
	If specifications for the overflow table are missing, no overflow happens! If you want to use the Overflow mode, then under Elements -> Page -> Overflow mode, the option duplicate has to be selected! (For this, the page has to be selected.) Especially at tables with many lines possibly several pages are created. The overflow mode can be tested in the PDF preview . In the template itself the overflow mode is not displayed.

Overflow width / Overflow height: Dimensions of the table in the overflow mode

Tabbed page Data:

Table type:

	Note
	You can use the options Table, BOM, Physical and Variable all together (even more than once). Simply apply the desired tables one after another.

Table:

Column definition: The value $_Columns. is already inserted by default.

You can also insert other definitions:

Examples:

$ALL_VISCOL.( title= "$var. " ,format= "$desc.",format= "$value(SRC=VALDESC).", format= "$unit.")
$ALL_VISCOL.( title= "$var. " ,format1= "$desc.",format2= "$value(SRC=VALDESC).", format3= "$unit.")
$ALL_VISCOL.( title="$var. ($desc.)", format="$value(SRC=VALDESC). [$unit.]")

The parameter "format" can be as many times as desired.

Note

In order to be able to perform a specific formatting of the table, the value has to be applied as Media Variable of the type PSOL_TABLE. If it does not exist, all visible columns are displayed. Detailed information on this is found under Section 10.6.2, “Edit table variables”.

LinkDB columns cannot be displayed by default. If desired, please contact CADENAS on this.

BOM: Via this option you can display BOM list information in a table.
BOM fields: In the list field, activate the checkbox at columns to be displayed.

Example: All BOM fields activated

Result: Display in the template
Physical table: Via this option you can display physical information such as Volume, Plane and Mass.
Physical fields: In the list field, activate the checkbox at columns to be displayed.
Variable:

Export all lines:

Caution
This action could possibly be time-critical!
Insert horizontal line: If you are using this separate layout option, the settings under Border color, Border size and Border type are ignored.

Example table: Layout defined by "Insert horizontal line"
Resolve value ranges:

Caution
This action could possibly be time-critical!
Switch rows and columns: See Fig. „Rows, columns interchanged and with alternative table header“.

Note
In this case, line definitions are used as column definitions.
Single overflow on same page:
Using the option Single overflow on same page a table can be splitted and both parts placed beside each other. The table can only overflow once on the same page.
Set X-Y coordinate, width and height of overflow table under Overflow x, Overflow y, Overflow width and Overflow height.
Link documents:
The functionality is analogously to Embed Documents. There, an internal link refers to a file within the catalog, here, a hyperlink is created which points to an external file.
Embed Documents:
With Embed Documents you can create links in the table where embedded documents can be called in the created PDF later.

Documents embedded in PDF

Details on this can be found under Section 10.4.6.1, “ Embed Documents ”.

  Here in this example, "left", "right" and "center" had been entered.
- Alternative table header:
  This option can be used together with Switch rows and columns.
  - Class variable / Value: Class variable and value, both have to be applied as Media Variables. You can do this either in the Media editor (siehe Section 10.6.1, “Create / edit Media Variables”) or in PARTproject (Section 5.9.18.1, “ Create Media Variables in PARTproject”).
    Enter the variable names in the input fields (e.g. "$Variable_Headline."). See following figure.
