Repeating Table

The Repeating Table tool is a unique control that is used to display and allow users to enter multiple sets of information into a table. The Repeating Table can also be used to automatically display multiple records received from an external data source in read-only format.

In the UI Designer, a Repeating Table always has two rows:

  • The first row (highlighted in blue) is the table’s header row. Controls in the header row can only bind to single value fields. In the image, column labels (ā€œColumn 1ā€, ā€œColumn 2ā€ā€¦) were added to help distinguish it from the other row. Adding descriptive column labels in this row can improve usability of the form.

  • The second row (highlighted in red) is the repeating row. Controls dropped in this row generate repeating fields (sometimes referred to as MVAL Fields). When a form is in use, such as in a case folder, this row can be duplicated, or might not be present at all. The repeating row’s behavior is covered in the second section.
