Further you can have a look at: - [Element propertie](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/table-object-properties)s - [Table Styling](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/table-object-styling) - [Styling Columns](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/column-styles) - Or go back to [Qlik Object - Tables](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/qlik-object-tables) for a more detailed overview ## Basic Settings Add and select a table object and set general element properties. ### Adding table object 1. On your Sense sheet, select the ancoreShare button to which you want to add the element. 2. On the **Properties panel**, click **Report** **Elements** **>** **Add** **Element**. 3. From the displayed options, the **Object** is already selected by default. If you modify an existing element, click on **Type** and select **Object** from the dropdown list. 4. Click the **Select Qlik Object button** and scroll down to the following section for next steps. **NOTE:** The **Add Element** button is always available at the bottom of the **properties** **panel**. For multiple elements, please scroll down to see the button. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/image-1673859796630.png) ### Selecting table object 1. Click the **Select Qlik Object** tab. 2. From the displayed **Select** **sheet** drop-down list, choose the sheet from which you want to pick the table. You will only see the sheets to which you have access. 3. Click a table to select it, set positioning properties first, which are explained in the next segment below, and then click **Apply** to exit the window. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/image-1673864991251.png) TipWhile adding Qlik Objects to your report, use the **pin** icon to see the [Preview window](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/preview-window) showing a preview of your report draft. Use the refresh button to see your changes in preview simultaneously. | ### Positioning and sizing For convenience, you can specify the main object settings for positioning and sizing the element already here. The same settings are also available on the **Properties panel**, and you can change these properties from there at any time. To position and size the table on your report, you can set: - **Anchor**: Specifies the relative position to the preceding element. - **Size**: Specifies the width of the table on the report. - **Spacing**: Specifies the distance of the table to other neighboring elements. These settings are only general positioning properties. To define the precise position and size of an element, you have to combine the three settings: [Anchor](https://docs.ancoresoft.com/docs/table-object-properties#anchor), [Size](https://docs.ancoresoft.com/docs/table-object-propertiess#size), and [Spacing](https://docs.ancoresoft.com/docs/table-object-properties#spacing). To learn more about how all the positioning and sizing settings work together and affect each other and how to precisely position the elements on your report by combining them, go to [Positioning and Sizing elements](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/positioning-and-sizing-elements). Once done, click **Apply** to save your changes and close the window. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/image-1673859384808.png) | | --- | --- | | ### Caption When you add and select a table object, the type of object and the Sense ID of the table are automatically populated as the **Caption**, and a thumbnail showing the Sense visualization is added to the **Properties panel**. You can rename this field to provide a meaningful caption that will help you in navigating through your report elements. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/image-1673865163747.png) | | ### Link to URL If you have selected the [Process Table as Image](https://docs.ancoresoft.com/docs/table-object-styling#process-table-as-image) option, you will see a **Link to URL** field. This allows you to add a link to the table (image) object. When the report is generated, the URL is embedded in it. Clicking the table image on the report redirects the users to the URL specified here. This is particularly useful when you want users to access the live view of the object in the Sense environment (ensure they have sufficient access rights). You can also use this to redirect users to a website, or any other kind of link. No link in Preview WindowYou will not be able to see or click the link in the [Preview window](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/preview-window). Download a draft report to verify the correct working of your link.Only as imageThis setting is only available, if the option [Process Table as Image](https://docs.ancoresoft.com/docs/table-object-styling#process-table-as-image) is enabled in the table settings. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/image-1673865342473.png) | | ### Calculation condition In the **Calculation Condition** field, click ***fx*** to open the expression editor. Specify an expression to set a condition that needs to be fulfilled (true) for the object to be displayed on the report. It works just like the [Activation Condition](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/activation-condition) but is specific to each report element. Refer to the [Qlik documentation](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/May2021/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Expressions/work-with-expression-editor.htm) to know more about expressions. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/image-1673865669796.png) | | ## Deleting table object At any time, you can click the **Delete** button at the bottom of the properties box to delete the table element.Optionally, right-click the element in the **properties** **panel** and click **Delete**. | | --- | | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/Deleting_chart.png) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/18d7facc-a391-4796-9eeb-b1efbd1aaa20/Images/Documentation/deleting-element(2).png) | --- ##### Next Steps - Proceed with [Element properties](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/table-object-properties) - Have a look at the [Table Styling](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/table-object-styling) options - Or go back to [Qlik Object - Tables](/ancoreshare-extension/docs/qlik-object-tables) for a more detailed overview
