Tables in DevInfo

From di Wiki

In DevInfo, the data generated can be presented in the form of a table, which makes the data appear in an organized manner. The table wizard helps you prepare and save a Table presentation in seven easy steps. A key feature in DevInfo is that the table created can be exported and used in a relevant PowerPoint presentation.

Before creating a table, make sure the data view contains the data that you want to present as a table. Click on the Table button in the Data Page Option bar to activate the Table wizard.

Steps 1 through Step 5 allow you to modify the row and column settings and table formatting. Step 6 gives you a preview of the table. Step 7 lets you specify the table name and save it in the gallery. When you open the Table wizard, it automatically applies a default setting for the rows, columns and other table formatting elements. It straightaway takes you to Step 6 of the Table wizard. If you are satisfied with the default table, proceed to Step 7 and save the table in the Gallery with the default formatting and presentation. If you are not happy with the applied table format, you can go back to Steps 1 through 5 and make the necessary changes.

In Step 1, you can specify the row and column elements that you want to include in the table. You can also choose to insert aggregates—sum, count, and mean—and categorize the data records.

In Step 2, you can specify the table title, footnotes, and choose to color code the data.

In Step 3, you can specify the grouping criteria for the data rows and the sequence of the column arrangement.

In Step 4, you can specify the sort order for the elements in the table. Notice that the Sort window has two panes: Available pane and Selected pane.

In Step 5, you can specify the formatting style for the table elements.

In Step 6, you can preview the effect of the changes made in Steps 1 through Step 5. The output is presented as a Microsoft Excel workbook.

In Step 7, you can save the table in the Gallery.
