Tables

Tables can be used to organize information neatly on the webpage in the event that a page template wasn't selected with the correct layout or if there is data that looks better presented in a table. In the event that a new page is going to be created, please visit Creating a Page to guide you in selecting the correct layout. This section will guide you in the process of inserting a table, how to edit the table, and cell properties.
 


 

Insert/Edit Table

Tables can be inserted anywhere on the page that has an editable area once the Table is created by entering information in the Table Properties section.

Here are the steps to insert a table:
1. Place cursor in Editable area (box with dotted lines)
2. Click on the TABLE button to add table in the content area
  • The TABLE PROPERTIES will appear in a separate window
  • This will allow you to specify the number of rows and columns as well as other options
3. Click OK when specifications are complete








 

Table Properties

The Table Properties will be discussed in this section with more detail.
When creating a new Table this is the screen that will display to configure the Table Properties.  This will allow you to specify the number of rows and columns as well as other properties.

 

 
Rows/Columns: This will determine the number of Rows or Columns in the table.
Width/Height: This will determine the dimensions of the table.
  Note: If you insert an image that is larger than the dimensions of the cell, it will supercede any table dimensions that you have specified. Therefore, you need to ensure that images inserted into the table do not exceed the width of the cell/table.
Headers: The options are: None, First Row, First Column or Both.
Border Size: This will determine if your table has a border and if so, it also determines the thickness of the line. 0 equals no border; 1 pixel or higher will give you a border of your desired size.
Alignment: This will allow you to align the table to the left, center, or right.
Caption: Enter text in this field to display as a title for the Table.
Summary: Summary of the table's content will only be available for administrators to see.
Cell Spacing: If a table border is present, cell spacing of 1 pixel or higher will give you a double line – the distance between the lines of the border is defined by the cell spacing.
Cell Padding: Cell padding of 1 pixel or higher will create space (buffer) between your content inside of the table and the table border.

Click OK when specifications are complete.

 
Once you start typing in the table you will notice that the column with more content automatically gets more space. You may want to restrict the size of a particular column or all of the columns. To do this you will need to use Cell Properties.



 

Cell Properties


Cell Properties allows you to edit the properties of the desired cell/column.
Right click the desired cell/column that you wish to edit.

Select CELL then CELL PROPERTIES.


The CELL PROPERTIES will appear in a separate window. This will allow you to specify the number of rows and columns, as well as other options.



 

Width/Height: This will determine the dimensions of the table. The dropdown menu beside the width will allow you to use percentage as well. The width and height can always be adjusted again later.
  Note: If you insert an image that is larger than the dimensions of the cell, it will supercede any table dimensions that you have specified. Therefore, you need to ensure that images inserted into the table do not surpass the width of the cell/table. For more info on inserting Images click here.
Word Wrap:  Yes or No
Horizontal/Vertical Alignment Allows you to specify the alignment for the cell. Commonly clubs will set the Horizontal Alignment to Left and Vertical Alignment to Top. This is because the table will always try to center the body of the cell with less content; typically this effect is undesirable thus the alignment change.
Cell Type: Data or Header (The text in that cell will automatically become BOLD and centered within that cell.)
Rows/Columns Span: This is the number of rows or columns this cell spans.
Background Color: This allows you to set the background color of the cell.
Border Color: This allows you to set the border color of the cell.

Click OK when specifications are complete.
