Creating new rows

In Retable, a "row" refers to a horizontal line of cells in a table. Each row typically contains a record or a unit of data, with each cell in the row representing a specific attribute or field of that record.

Adding new rows in Retable is simple and intuitive, allowing you to quickly expand your dataset with relevant information.

How to create new rows:

• Click on the "Add Row" button at the bottom of your table or use the shortcut to insert a new row.
• Fill in the required fields with your data. Each row represents a unique entry in your dataset, and you can customize the fields to suit your needs.

Understanding the structure and functionality of rows is crucial for efficient data management. Each row consists of multiple fields that can be customized to store different types of data, such as text, numbers, dates, and more. You can modify the columns to fit your data requirements, ensuring that each row contains the necessary information.

Managing and editing rows

Accessing row details:

• Click on the expand icon on the right side of your table to open the row detail view.
