A Table field extracts rows of repeating values from a document, such as 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 one 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.
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+T.

​
Populate a table

​
Add a value to a cell

1

Select the cell

Click the cell in the table.
2

Mark the region

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

1

Mark the top rows

Mark the top row, or several top rows, in the table.
2

Continue the table

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. To delete every row at once, select Delete All Rows from the table menu.
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, except Allow multiple items. All cells in a column share the same properties, because 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. The field settings dialog for the column opens.

​
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

To rename a column, click the column name, or select Rename Column from the column dropdown. To rename the table, click the table name in the data form.
