Table Data Field

Use the Table Data Field data source to populate the contents of a table object with data from a field of the table object's configured source, such as database records or data that is returned from Visual Basic Script.

ClosedTo add a Table Data Field data source to a table object

  1. On the template, add a table object that is connected to dynamic data. For more information about how to do this, refer to Creating Tables that Use Dynamic Data.

  2. In the Toolbox, click the Data Sources tab to show the Data Sources pane.

  3. If necessary, expand the Table Data Fields node to display a list of table objects and their fields. The fields are the Table Data Field data sources. Table Data Field data sources are available after you configure a source for a table object by using the table object's Table Data property page.

  4. Drag the Table Data Field data source that you want from the Data Sources pane to the cell in the table where you want it.

You can configure the properties of this data source by using the Data Sources property page of the Object Properties dialog. You can identify a Table Data Field data source in the navigation pane of the Object Properties dialog by the icon. For more information about the properties that you can specify and the types of data that you can select for the data source value, refer to Data Sources Property Page.

You can also replace an existing data source in a table with a Table Data Field data source or add a Table Data Field data source to a table object's already existing data sources. For information about how to do this, refer to Configuring Data Sources.
