Table and Subject Column

The Table and Subject Column are designated for viewing purposes only. The displayed selections represent the criteria utilized in the creation of the data set.

Being able to view the table and subject column in the settings tab is important for several reasons:

  • Data Organization: It helps you keep your data well-organized, making it easier to locate and reference specific information quickly.

  • Efficiency: It streamlines the process of managing and editing data.

  • Clarity: Having a clear view of the table and subject column ensures that you can accurately interpret and analyze the data.

Data Display Option

The Data Display Option empowers authors with the capability to create unique text for data shown in a document.

This functionality is important for several reasons.

  • Clarity and Context: Customizing the text allows you to provide clear explanations and context for the data.

  • Emphasis on Key Points: You can highlight and emphasize the most important aspects of the data, guiding the reader’s attention to critical findings or trends.

  • Tailored Communication: Different audiences may require different levels of detail or focus. The custom text allows you to tailor the presentation to meet the specific needs of your audience, whether they are technical experts, regulatory bodies, or stakeholders.
