Table

The Table component is used to display information in a structured tabular form, consisting of rows and columns. It is an essential tool for presenting clinical data, comparison charts, or organized lists.

Overview

Tables in Activator consist of the main table container and individual table cells. Each cell functions as a sub-container where data or other components can be placed and styled independently.

How to Use the Table Component

Step 1: Adding the Table

Select the Table component from the components list. Upon placement, the system generates a default table structure consisting of 9 cells (3x3)

Step 2: Modifying Rows and Columns

You can adjust the table structure using the main settings menu:

  • Add/Subtract: Increase or decrease the number of rows and columns as needed.

  • Even Distribution: New columns and rows are added with uniform sizing by default to maintain layout consistency.

Step 3: Merge and Split Cells

For more complex layouts, you can modify the cell structure using keyboard shortcuts:

  • Merge Cells: Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and select multiple adjacent table cells, then use the merge option to combine them into a single larger cell.

  • Split Cells: To revert a merged cell back into individual cells, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac), select the merged cell, and choose the split option.

Step 4: Editing Cell Content

  1. Click on an individual cell within the table.

  2. A yellow outline will appear, indicating that you are now editing that specific cell.

  3. You can now define the data inside the cell's text fields or style the cell (background, borders, alignment) independently.

Key Features

  • Cell-Level Control: Each cell can have its own unique styling and components.

  • Responsive Rows: Tables are designed to hold their structure across different screen orientations.

  • Header Support: Dedicated top-row functionality for naming columns.

Best Practices

  • Header Clarity: Always use the top row to clearly label the data categories.

  • Styling Consistency: While cells can be styled individually, maintain consistent padding and font sizes across the table for better readability.

  • Data Volume: For very large datasets on mobile devices, ensure the table is placed within a scrollable container or simplified to fit the screen width.
