The Table Filter Content Type filters a table as the user types in to the Search Bar.  (Please see the example at the bottom of this page)

  • The Table Filter can only be used on one table in a section
  • If you have multiple tables on your page, the Table Filter will only filter the table that has the Class (in Table Properties) named ‘filterable’ (see point 6 below).
  1. Using the Content Type 'Content (no Title)' or 'Content Rich Text',
  2. You should only have your table in this content. Do not add any additional content i.e text etc.  If you want to have additional text on your page, use a separate Content (no Title) Content Type.
  3. Create your table using the WYSIWYG editor
  4. Click on the Table tab and choose the type of table you want to use and the number of rows and columns
    Table tab - Insert table options
  5. Click on the Table tab and choose Table properties, you can change the look of your table by changing the Width, Height, Cell Spacing, Cell padding, Border with and Alignment as you want.  You don't need to make any change but we would recommend you insert 100% in the Width field to ensure your table fills the available space on your page.
