Note

In a browser and BMC Remedy Developer Studio, cell-based tables have the format shown in the following figure.

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

Commands for a cell-based table field, such as Refresh and Select All, are in a context menu.

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:
