  6. All Table columns (elements) whether going to be used in a Feature or not need to be defined. If the table is empty only the columns need to be defined, NOT the individual elements.
  7. Once all the Table columns have been entered, the cells elements must be defined.  Click on the Right Arrow while hovering on the column header to create the Element definition.
  8. NOTE:  While Table headers use the full Location String ID, all elements within a Table need to be defined using the Regular Expression method.  For more on the Regular Expression method please click here.
