'Edit table cells':

By clicking in a table cell you can edit the contents of this cell. Depending on the configuraton of table properties, a mere text editing (input oder text area) or Text for formatting options (WYSIWYG) is available.
You determine for the entire column the editor to be used through the Maintenance tag for tables (attribute: colsEditors).

'Shift table cells upwards':

By clicking on the up arrow Icon you can shift the current row by one row towards the top.

'Shift table cells downwards':

By clicking on the down arrow Icon you can shift the current row by one row towards the bottom.

'Delete table cell':

By clicking the minus button Icon you can delete the current row. There will be no query asking you to confirm that you want to delete!

'Insert table cell':

By clicking the plus button Icon you can copy the current row and thus insert a table row.

'Format table cell':

By clicking a box at the right corner of a table row you can set the saved formatting for the entire table row. Generally, the corresponding box shows the background colour that has been defined for the stored class.
This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: changeRowClasses).
The classes available for formatting are defined through the maintenance tag attribute rowClasses.

'Format table column':

By clicking a box at the right corner of a table column row you can set the saved formatting for the entire table column (head of table (th) not included). Generally, the corresponding box shows the background colour that has been defined for the stored class.  This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: changeColClasses). The classes available for formatting are defined through the maintenance tag attribute ColClasses. 

'Width of table column':

In this field, you may optionally enter the width of the corresponding table column. Possible values:

  • Natural number
    Indiation in pixels (value without supplement px), e.g. 150 for 150 pixels width
  • Per cent value
    Indication in per cent, e.g. 25%
    Please pay attention that for indication in per cent the sum of all columns is 100%.

This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: changeColWidth ).

'Extended table settings':

'Import tables':

By clicking this button you can optionally import a table from a spreadsheet software (e.g. Excel™). Paste the table you have copied into the clipboard in the opened window and accept it by clicking OK.
This functionality appears depending on the settings in the configuration.
This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: import).

'With/without table header':

Through the selection box in the extended table settings you can optionally select whether a table header (th element) is used or not. For example, a table with table header can be given another formatting for the first table row with the th element used.
This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: changeDisplayHeader).

'Format table (select depiction/class)':

Through the selection box in the extended table settings you can optionally select the depiction of the table (e.g. "standard depiction" or "without frame"). The stored CSS class determines the appearance of the table for the page publication. You can control this formatting (e.g. table.default) via the CSS file of the project (mostly design.css).
This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: changeClasses).
The classes available for formatting are defined through the maintenance tag attribute classes. In BASE this has been implemented in sich a manner that the available types of depiction are defined through the Project configuration.

'Columns (Number of table columns)':

Through this selection box you can optionally select the number of columns in the table. The possible values in the selection box can be determined via configuration settings of the table.
This selection is only available if activated for the table editor (see Maintenance tags reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: changeNumberCols).
The available values are defined through the maintenance tag attribute ColClasses.

'Connected columns':

Through this selection box you can optionally connect existing table cells of a row. The values in the selection box define the cells that can be connected. Starting with and including the current cell the number of subsequent cells in the row is connected.
Hence, with a 4-column table, for which one cell in the second column is clicked on, the maximum value is three. Selecting three would connect the cells of the columns two, three and four in this row.

This selection option is by default only available for admins and is set through the corresponding maintenance tag attribute (see Maintenance tag reference: Maintenance of tables - attribute: colsEditors).
