Create a Data Table

Prev Next

Follow the steps below to create a data table:

  1. Click the + button (shown in red) in the top row of the Data panel. The image below shows the data table being created based on the web service call. Select the web service or SQL query to base the data table on. Inputs defined with the expression editor in the same way as in previous examples. The outputs are automatically given names.

  1. After you click OK, a data table is created. You can view, modify, and delete your data tables by clicking on the table in the data panel.

  1. Creating a data table creates a repeating group in the form fields, with the data table outputs as repeating fields. The values in the group’s fields can already be used, even though the group is not bound to a repeating table.

NOTE: To update the values in a data table, a “Refresh Data Table” rule must be called on it. This will get the values of the data table using the specified input. When a user is using the form, data tables begin empty, and must be populated by calling one of these rules.
