Create a Table Manually
You can manually create a table by defining its name, number of rows, and number of columns using the admin interface.
1. Click on the “Create Table” button.
2. You will be redirected to a page where you can enter the table name, description, number of rows, and number of columns.
3. After entering the required information, click Save.
4. You will then be taken to the Table Manipulation page, where you can:
- Enter and manage table data
- Customize the table design
- Import or export table data
- Copy the shortcode of the specific table for embedding

Create a Table by Importing Data
Click the “Import Data” button to begin uploading your file. The Import page will open, where you can complete the data import successfully.
To create a table from an existing file, follow these steps:
1. After clicking the “Add Table” button on the Dashboard, select the Import Data option.
2. Upload a supported file format such as .xls, .csv, or .json.
3. A new table will be automatically generated based on the content of the file.
4. Customize the table as needed.

Pre-designed Templates
Pre‑designed templates are ready‑built table layouts that let you skip the tedious work of structuring and styling a table from scratch. Instead of starting with a blank grid, you open a fully formatted example that already contains placeholder (sample) data and the interactive features suited to a specific purpose—search boxes, sortable headers, comparison columns, price ribbons, size columns, and so on.
How to use a template:
- Open the Pre‑designed Templates panel.
- Browse the thumbnail previews until you find a style that matches your goal (e.g., searchable inventory list, plan comparison, size guide).
- Click Use. The chosen template is inserted into your workspace, complete with example content.
- Replace the placeholder text with your real data. Adjust column names or delete unnecessary rows as needed.
- (Optional) Tweak colors or fonts in the design settings if you want to align the table even more closely with your brand palette.
That’s it—within a few minutes you have a polished, interactive table that would have taken much longer to build manually.
