Customized table columns

Table fields enable users to view specific fields and requests from another supporting form or from the original form in a spreadsheet format.

You can add data from a form that is referenced from a table field. You might want to do this to enable the data to be seen in the table, or to use the data in your workflow. Each column title in the table field represents a field from the supporting form, and each row represents an entry from the supporting form.

If new entries are made to the supporting form, the user sees them when the table is refreshed. For more information, see  Defining tables to display data. 

In order to customize table columns, you must create overlays of the AR System form and view that the table fields reside on.

When adding columns, remember that these columns have field IDs and must be added by using the field ID recommendations. Also, follow the naming conventions discussed in User-interface-object-designs to avoid conflicts with column names added by BMC.

• If you want to make the data visible to the end user, ensure that the table column is visible and in a position that makes sense for users to see.
• If you are leveraging this data for workflow, ensure that the table columns are hidden.
