Adding Data to the Table

Column and Row Setup

  1. Set the width for each column in the first column settings, with the rest of the columns adjusting automatically.
  2. Define each cell in a column. The first cell should be the header of the column, set as a parent cell, with subsequent cells as child cells if they need to collapse under the parent.

  • Blank: An empty cell.
  • Heading: Text with optional icons and description or tooltip. Icons can be selected from the Elementor and HappyAddons Icon library.
  • Text: Simple text content.
  • Icon: An icon from the library with adjustable size.

Data Entry Tips

  • Use a structured data set for reference to ensure consistency.
  • Parent cells should be consistent across the same row for proper data visibility.
  • Data must be added column by column as live editing mode does not support direct row entry.

Managing Cells

  • Duplicate cells as needed.
  • Hide columns by toggling the button off (not available for the first column).
  • Add new cells by clicking the add item button.
  • Adjust alignment, add badge text, and customize badge styles.
