Columns & Rows

Where to find it: Objects → Tables → open a table

The grid in the editor is where a table’s actual content lives. Columns define the kind of information the table holds, and rows are the individual entries. This article covers the column types available, how to manage columns, and how to work with rows.

Column Types

You can add five kinds of column, each suited to a different kind of content:

Type	What it holds
Text	Plain text you type directly into the cell.
Media	An uploaded image (PNG or JPEG). A thumbnail is shown in the grid.
Boolean	A simple True / False choice.
Dropdown	A choice from a list of options you define for that column.
Playlist	A choice from your playlists, with a Create New option to make a new playlist without leaving the table.

Note New columns are given placeholder names (col_a, col_b, and so on) that you can rename at any time.

Managing Columns

The Manage columns button opens a window where you can:

• Rename a column by selecting it and typing a new name.

• Delete a column: it’s hidden and left out the next time you save.

• Set the options for a dropdown column, entered as a comma-separated list.

Working with Rows

Rows are added from the Add row menu, which lets you place a new row in a few ways:

Option	Where it adds a row
At the beginning	As the first row of the table.
Above selected	Directly above the row you’ve selected.
In the end	As the last row of the table.

To remove rows, select them and use Remove Selected Rows.

Adding a Spacer Line

To create a visual break between sections — for example, a blank line separating groups of donors — add a row and type $<BR> in its first column. The widgets that display the table read this as a spacer and render a break in the list.

Best Practices

• Match the column type to the content. Use a media column for images, a dropdown for fixed choices, and a playlist column to link content directly.

• Rename columns meaningfully. Clear column names make a table much easier to maintain than col_a, col_b.

• Use spacer lines for readability. A break row can make a long on-screen list easier to read.
