Table Styling

ancoreShare Extension provides an extensive list of properties that enable you to design pixel-perfect tables. The comprehensive table properties allow you to precisely specify styling for each column and cell to control how the table renders on your report.

On the Properties panel, click Table and define the following properties:

• General table settings:
  • Process Table as Image
  • First Page Top Position
  • Automatic Cell Width
• Table properties:
  • Table header style
  • Row height
  • Total row style
  • Custom number delimiters
  • Cell line style

Process table as image

Select this option to add the table as an image on the report. Though a high-resolution image of the table is rendered on the report, it limits the number of rows on the report. You will only see the data displayed on your sheet, and the scrolling area is not captured. For example, if there are 200 rows in your table, out of which only 15 are displayed on your sheet; then the report will have only those 15 rows, and the rest will be clipped out. Further, you will not be able to copy data from the image.

First Page Top Position

Here, you can specify the spacing from the top where the table starts on the report page. The spacing is calculated in the page size unit specified in Page settings. This value overrides the Top setting in Spacing for the page on which the table starts. 

Note that if the table spans over several pages, all pages except the first one will have the top spacing set as mentioned here.
For example, if your table is placed on the second page in the report, and you have specified the value here as 20, then the table will start at a gap of 20 units from the top of the page.
Optionally, define an expression to specify a condition for spacing. For example, you can specify a condition such as, if the number of rows in the table is 50, place the table at a gap of 20 from the top, and if the number of rows exceeds 50, place the table at 5.

Refer to the Qlik documentation to know more about expressions.

Automatic Cell Width

Use the options here to control the width of the table columns. You can choose to distribute width evenly or according to the content.

By default, the distribute width evenly option is selected, and all columns have the same width. If you choose the Content option, the column width is adjusted to accommodate the content.

Set Column style

This button shows the properties to specify conditions that will govern the table headers, totals rows, or columns.
Further, you can also use the settings here to insert images in table cells.

To quickly learn how to work with these properties, see the article Styling columns.

Table Properties

Table header style

The following settings only apply to table headers. 

1. Show Table Header
   If table headers are enabled, they automatically repeat on each page when the table object spans over more than one page. You can also disable this property to not show the headers at all.
2.  Set a Fill Color and a Font Color for table headers.
3. Header Min Height in points
   Header rows automatically grow in height, depending on their cell content, however this feature allows to set a minimum height for headers independently from this.

Row height

Table rows automatically grow in height, depending on their cell content and the the Content Overflow setting. However, this feature allows to set a minimum height for headers independently from this.

This setting is particularly useful when working with images as cell content, as the row height cannot adapt to the image size. Learn more about this in article Column Styles (Images in table cells).

Total row style

Specify a Fill Color  and a Font Color just for the total rows of this table.

Custom number delimiters

You can control how the grouping (thousands) separators and the decimal separator are displayed on the tables.
For this, enable the Custom number delimiters option, and specify the Decimal separator and Thousands separator. 

Optionally, specify a symbol or text for Empty values. This symbol or text will be displayed in case cell values are empty.

Cell line style

Cell lines are all the lines inside the table and the ones that form the outer body of the table.
You can specify the width and color of the cell line.

The border forms an outline of the table element. Here's an example showing the cell lines in Blue and the border in Pink.
