Columns and Table Rules
For a table
The view that is displayed to a user on the Print page that allows the user to enter information for a label. A Designer can configure this view in the Form view on the Label Design page. in a label template or a form, the Column and Table Rules pane allows you to add or remove columns in a table, configure properties and styles for the table, and add styling rules to the table and to specific columns. Additional table options can be found in the Properties pane. For more information, see Control Properties.
Note: Styles defined by a Style Data Ref override the styles configured on a column.
