Data input in tables

Corporater BMP table objects are a structured means to review and compare related data.

Some display data as read-only and others as editable.

Edit table data

You can edit table data only if you have editing rights for table objects in Corporater BMP or for the specific table to edit.

You can use inline editing to edit cell data that is visible in the table, directly on the table page.

The mode becomes active when you click the Edit icon () from the table toolbar and inactive once you click Finish Editing.
