Complex table data entry includes cell data entry, table data entry, and dataset data entry. You can create and manage cell data entry to collect values in individual cells through configurable controls.
Example
In the following workshop inspection form, fields such as Work ID, Name, Equipment, Team, Position, Production Line, and Time use cell data entry.
Create cell data entry
A cell is the most basic data entry object. To enable data entry in a cell, configure a data entry control for it.
If you select multiple cells and click Convert to Data Entry Control, only one cell is converted because settings such as field names require individual configuration.
