A Table field extracts tabular data — rows of repeating values like line items, invoice charges, or address blocks. Each column is a single repeating field, so all cells in a column share the same data type and properties. To add a table to your document, click Add Table in the toolbar. A 1×1 table appears in the data form.

​
Open and close a table

To open a table, click the icon under its name in the data form, or click the table’s region on the document image. The icon of the open table is highlighted in blue inside a cyan circle. To close a table, do any of the following:
  • Click the icon under the table name.
  • Click a different field in the data form.
  • From a row or column dropdown menu, select Close table.
  • From the table menu (icon in the upper-left corner of the table), select Close table.

​
Populate a table

​
Add a value to a cell

  1. Select the cell with the cursor.
  2. Mark a region on the document image. Vantage extracts the data from the region into the selected cell.
If you mark a second region immediately after, Vantage adds a new column at the end of the table and places the extracted data in the first cell of that column.

​
Auto-fill the rest of the table

You can auto-fill table rows after you’ve marked the first one (or several topmost rows):
  1. Mark the top row, or several topmost rows, in the table.
  2. Click the icon next to the last cell, or select Continue table from this row from the dropdown menu.
Vantage fills the remaining rows automatically.
Auto-fill processes up to 10 pages of table data at a time. For longer tables, repeat the command on the remaining rows.

​
Add rows or columns manually

Use the Create column and Create row buttons to add rows or columns. From a row or column dropdown menu, you can also insert a new row or column at a specific location, or delete one or more rows or columns.
Adding a row or column manually does not move the cursor. Select the new cell to start entering data.

​
Set table properties

Table cells have the same general properties and data-type-specific properties as regular text fields. All cells in a column share the same properties — the column is a single repeating field. To set column properties, select Column settings from the column dropdown, or select a cell in the column and press Alt + Enter.

​
Column width

The default column width is 2 characters. To resize a column, drag the separator between column headings. Column widths you set are preserved in manual review.

​
Rename a column or table

  • Column — Double-click the column name, or select Rename column from the column dropdown.
  • Table — Triple-click the table name.
