Table Fields
A table field is a composite field comprised of active fields arranged in rows and columns. Each column in the table field maps to one attribute of the class associated with the array and each table field row displays one row of the array. The fields are usually entry fields, but can be of any kind, such as image or toggle fields.
A column is a stack of identical active fields: each has the same data type and contains the same type of information, for example, customer names or telephone numbers. A row contains one field from each column in the table.
The following graphic illustrates these concepts:
A table field can be oriented in either of two ways:
Vertically
A vertical table field displays its columns vertically and its rows horizontally.
Horizontally
A horizontal table field displays its columns horizontally and its rows vertically.
