Topics covered: - Templates tab - Text from tables - Image from tables - Tables tab - Data source editor **Sample screen:****![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/2022-09-27_15h49_46.png)** --- **TUTORIAL STEPS:** | A) Create a table on the **Tables** **tab** - see how to do this in the previous [Create and manage your tables](/v1/docs/create-manage-tables) tutorial. | | --- | | B) **Create a template** 1. Open the *Templates* tab. 2. Click the *New template* button. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide1(185).JPG) | | C) **Add text from table** 1. Click the *Text* icon, and then under *Table value* select the *Text* option. In the newly opened menu select the *Text* option. 2. Place the element on the canvas. A new *Tables* sub-window will open. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide2(225).JPG) | | D) **Tables sub-window** 1. Select a table item from the list. **Note**: You will see here the same items as on Tables tab, as well structured into folders. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide3(81).JPG) | | E) **Configure how you want to acquire data from the table.** After the table has been selected, it is required to specify the way the data is pulled from it into the text from table element. To achieve a result as in our example: 1. Set the *Variable selector* to **Manual** and select the *Column ID of the table*. 2. Set the *Variable selector* to **Manual** and select the *Row ID of the table*. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide4(60).JPG) Explanation of **Variable selector**, which you can set to **Manual** or **Data Source:** - **Manual** - lets the user select a specific column/row of the table from the Column ID/Row ID dropdown box. - **Data source** - means that the table cell data is inserted dynamically according to the parameter added in the **Data source** **editor**. The dynamic data source value is building reference ID for Row or Column, i.e. it is composing a key that references a table cell using the dynamic values. | | F) **Add image from table** 1. Click the *Media* icon and select the *Image from table* option. 2. Place the element on the canvas. A new Tables sub-window will open. 3. Select the table from the list. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide5(57).JPG) | | G) **Configure how you want to acquire data from the table.** 1. Set the *Variable selector* to **Manual** and select the *Column ID*. 2. Set the *Variable selector* to **Manual** and select the *Row ID*. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide6(50).JPG) | | H) **Further design ideas for your content:** - Add static text, - add a rectangle to enclose multiple elements in it, - reposition and resize your elements, - customize the Font style of your text elements, - align your text elements. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide7(47).JPG) | | I) Click the *Save & Publish* button in the lower right-hand corner when your template is final. Now it is **ready to be assigned and shown on your display as a standalone feature or used as part of your food menu template.** | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide8(39).JPG) | ###
