Table Data Input Field

A Table field lets you add CSV-based tables to documents:

  • Import a CSV file

  • Edit or fill it by manually

  • Use table data in calculations with other fields

  • View and download results in both Guardian and Indexer.

1. Add this field to a policy schema

Add a Table-type field to a schema so users can work with it in forms.

Setup:

  • Choose Field type: Table.

  • Multiple table fields can be added in one document.

  • All table fields can participate in calculations (cross-table formulas, sums, links with other fields, etc.).

2. Use the field while filling the form

When added to a schema, the table is shown to a user during data entry.

Available options:

  • Import CSV: load a file and preview the first rows/columns.

  • Export/Download CSV: download the current state of the table.

  • Edit: open the table in a dialog and update cells.

  • Create manually: start with an empty table and fill it by hand.

3. Run calculations (inside a table and with other fields)

Use table data in document formulas and logic.

Options:

  • Inside a table – row/column calculations (e.g., sums, averages, etc.).

  • With other form fields – via:

  • AutoCalculate field (automatic calculation)

  • Custom Logic Block (custom rules/logic)

4. Save a prefilled table as a Draft

Save an unfinished form with imported/entered table data and return to it later.

5. View and download results in document view

What it does:

  • In Guardian, VC document view shows tables and calculated values.

  • In Indexer, the same table is available for viewing and downloading.

6. Limits and performance

  • If the table size exceeds 10 MB, manual editing in the UI is not available.

  • To edit:, download the CSV, update it externally,then re-import.

  • Calculations still work above 10 MB, but:

  • Performance may be slower

  • Preview is limited to the first rows/columns
