Modifying Table Properties
You can modify the labeling, orientation and height of the first row of a documentation table; it is also possible to omit the enumeration column.
Context
You can change the following properties for a documentation table:
Table Caption: You can specify the heading the table should be given here. You can use placeholders which are provided by the appropriate model element enumeration chapter. The $(number) variable contains a continuous counter for all tables
Rotate Table: If this option is set, the table rows are shown as columns.
Style: Specify a Word format template for the table. The format template must be defined in the template file.
Omit Enumeration Column: The first column of the table is omitted. You can use this option in combination with rotate table to e.g. show the modification history information as a table below the Element (Element Class) chapter.
Sorting set for the underlying model element enumeration chapter also determines the table sorting for suppressed enumeration columns.
Height of the First Row: Use this option if you want to set the height of the first row (in mm) for a table with a rotated column heading.
