Adding/Deleting Tables on a Form
The form in apps provides the "Table" feature, which enables you to add rows as needed when you enter data.
Tables are useful when you want to manage multiple data entries in one record.
For example, in an "Order Management" app, you can add as many table rows as needed and enter different product names and order amounts for each customer order.

To create a table, choose the Table field from field list and place it, and then add fields you want to include to the Table by dragging and dropping a field one by one.
You can also specify a table name and the field codes to a table.
In this section, a table name and the field codes are configured in step 5 through 8 after placing fields, although you can configure them before or during placing fields.
