🚀 Rapid Application Development with the App Builder

Table Builder - Columns Menu

The Table Builder allows you to define column settings through a dedicated menu. Here, you can configure a column's layout and behavior. Basic settings are available directly on the column panel; expand the panel to access advanced settings for a specific column.

Basic Column Settings

WP Data Access - Table Builder - Columns Menu

[A] Reorder columns via drag and drop.
[B] Set the column label.
[C] Configure column visibility.
[D] Enable or disable column searchability.
[E] Enable or disable column sorting.
[F] Set the column alignment.
[G] Expand a column panel for more options.
[H] Define the column width (available after expanding the panel).

📌 Column Label Wrapping

  • Short Labels (< 20 characters): Not wrapped.
  • Long Labels (≥ 20 characters): Automatically wrapped.

You can force wrapping on a shorter label by adding white space to its end. Note that a wrapped label may still be truncated with an ellipsis if the column is too narrow. To display the full text, increase the column width.

Advanced Column Settings

The documentation's structure mirrors the menu structure of the Table Builder itself.

Computed Fields

A computed field is a generated field based on text, calculations, and values of other fields. Computed fields are available in both the Table Builder and Form Builder. They are generated during runtime and are mainly used for display purposes. The generated column and value are not stored in the database.
