10.4.6.  Table

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] 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] Note

      You can use the options Table, BOM Table and Physical table 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.

        [Note] 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 Table: 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

      [Caution] Caution

      This action could possibly be time-critical!

    • Switch rows and columns: See Fig. „Example "Alternative table header": For the Media Variables there are HTML texts.“.

      [Note] 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.
