You can bind a template to a view field in a cell-based table and specify fields to provide the template parameters. Workflow is not needed to initialize the table. See Using-templates-with-fields for more detail.

You can have multiple cell-based table fields on one form, and they can appear in multiple views.

Double-clicking a cell or field in a cell opens the source form linked to the table. The source form displays the record shown in the clicked cell.

Cell-based tables support chunking. Cell-based tables also support tabbing as follows:
