Add and configure tables
Tables are visualization tools that display data in a tabular layout. You can use a table to structure and organize information and understand patterns.
Add tables
You can add tables to stories and briefings:
In stories, you can add tables to the body of a story and sidecar narrative panels. A table can have up to 8 columns and 13 rows.
In briefings, you can add tables to briefing slide panels on flexible layout slides. A table can have up to 6 columns and 6 rows. The size of the briefing panel will affect how much of a table is visible without scrolling.
Enter table data
Use the following tips when entering data into a table:
Hover over the table and click the Row options button or Column options button to show controls for adding and deleting table elements.
Table rows and columns will automatically resize based on the length of information in each cell.
You can format, add links to, and align text in table cells by highlighting the text and selecting options from the toolbar.
Table options
Hover over a table and click Options on the toolbar to configure the following options:
Show header row—Show or hide a shaded header row at the top of the table. The header row is enabled by default.
Show header column—Show or hide a shaded header column at the start of the table. The header column is disabled by default.
Best practices
Consider the following tips when making tables:
In Table options, use a header row or header column to label or categorize data.
Maintain consistent text alignment across a table, or at minimum within each column.
Consider including a data source in the table caption.
