# Multiple Tables on one Template

You can create many different constraints for the same table using multiple data sources. This will allow you to use multiple data lists created by the simple table wizard in the template to display differently constrained data from the same table.

In the steps described, we will use a new beverage table and split its contents into two data lists using different data sources. We will look at a very simple example of restricting one of the two data sources using the Offset function, which will allow one of the data lists to continue where the other one left off.

Topics covered:Templates tab - Designer - Simple table wizard - data source editor

**TUTORIAL STEPS:**

| A) Create a table on the **Tables** **tab** - see how to do this in the [Create and manage your tables](/v1/docs/create-manage-tables) tutorial. |
| --- |
| B) Create two unconstrained data sources for your new table on the **Data sources** **tab** - see how to do this in the [Create DATA sources for tables](https://portal.document360.io/v1/docs/data-sources-for-tables-and-other) [](/v1/docs/create-manage-tables)tutorial. |
| C) Create a template on the **Templates** **tab** or use earlier created food menu template and insert your new table using the *simple table wizard*. |
| D) **Simple table setup** 1. Select an unconstrained data source for your first simple table in the *Setup your table* window - see how to do this in the previous [Adding tables to templates using wizard](https://portal.document360.io/v1/docs/use-tables-on-templates-with-wizard) [](/v1/docs/create-manage-tables)tutorial. 2. Click the button to insert your table and open it in the row template design mode. **Note**: In our example we set we set the number of pages to 1 and the number of rows per page to 4, so we already know that the second data list will need to skip the first 4 rows of the table. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide1(108).JPG) |
| E) Click the *Save* button after you design the row template. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide2(109).JPG) |
|  |  |
| F) **Copy** the data list element using **Ctrl+C** command and **paste** it on canvas using **Ctrl+V** command if you wish to skip the designing phase of the row template for your second data list. Otherwise, you can create a new data list with simple table wizard again, select the second data source in the *Setup your table* window and design the row template from scratch. In this case skip to tutorial step J) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide3(125).JPG) |

| J) **Select and edit data source** 1. Select the second data source for you row template on the *Canvas* sidebar. 2. Click the *Edit* button to edit the selected data source. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide7(55).JPG) |
| K) **Set Offset** 1. Click the *Add offset* button. 2. Select the *Fixed value* option for the *Value* *type*. 3. Enter the *Value* of the offset.
