# Tables

> Tables in ABBYY FormDesigner machine-readable forms contain columns of same-type elements such as text, entry, date, numeric, and checkmark fields.

A **table** is an element of a machine-readable form that contains columns of elements of the same type.

Table columns may contain the following elements:

* Text
* Entry Field
* Date Field
* Numeric Field
* Checkmark Field

A table may include a row with the names of the columns.

In terms of [document structure](/flexi-capture/form-designer/document-structure), each table field has child fields corresponding to the columns of a **table** element.
