Overview

This guide covers creating, editing, deleting, and configuring tables on your website pages. Tables are a great way to organise and display data in an interesting and easy-to-read format on your website.  

Where possible, rather than using tables, you should use styled tables because they automatically include your branding and colour schemes, and they dynamically adjust to smaller screens such as mobile devices. For further information see Juniper Websites: How do I add a stylised table to my page?

Creating a table

1. Click into the content area of the page on your website where you require a table.
    
2. Select the Table icon from the Edit tab OR select the Templates icon and then Styled Template if you have this template on your site.
   
   

Table Properties

1. For Styled Tables the properties will already be set.  For Standard Tables, the Table Properties window will appear immediately.  
   (you can right click on the table and choose table properties at any time to edit the settings)
   
   
2. Enter the number of Rows and Columns required. Set the width to a percentage, for example,100%. If you have a responsive website your content will scale accordingly, displaying appropriately on mobile and tablet devices.
3. Select whether you want the First Row, First Column or Both to act as Headers. Headers not only make the rows stand out visually if they have been stylised, but they also make your table accessible to screen readers.  Read more about making your content accessible here.
4. Select OK to close the Table Properties.
