Document Designer: Table Formatting

Rachel Dew

Some Feature that I would love to see for the Table in the Document Designer:

The ability to format the table as a grid so that it looks like a table instead of floating text, and be able to determine what size the grid lines should be
The ability to be able to align text in the tables for each column
The ability to format the top top header row separate from the rest of the data rows
The ability to be able to fill the table with color > All Color Rows or alternating color rows
The ability to be able to highlight rows based on field status
As mentioned in another request, be able to resize the columns at will (See https://smartsuite.canny.io/feature-requests/p/document-designer-table-column-formatting)

Border width for Linked Record in Document Designer

Mithun Paulose

It would be much pleasing to look at the table we currently have if we had row dividers or able to adjust the css properties of the table

Hiya Mithun Paulose, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:

What specific changes would you like to see in the row dividers or CSS properties?
Are there any specific examples or styles you have in mind for the table design?
How would these changes improve your experience or workflow with the Document Designer?

Hi Jon Darbyshire,

Thanks for replying!

An additional setting to add "border:" property to the table

Just a simple option to "Border: " and a textbox/slider to enter a value which achieves a css property of "border: 1px solid black" would be sufficient

please refer the image
I am building a packing slip where there can be 50 or more parts. So having borders will be easier to look at and enter data

Hi Jon Darbyshire,

Do you think this can be implemented?

Mithun Paulose

Please implement this simple change as soon as possible

Actually, SS needs a Report Builder, among other things.

The ability to set row widths would be great too
