This topic will walk you through how to use dynamic tables. This includes how to create dynamic tables, add dynamic properties, and revert a dynamic table to a standard table.
Note: Dynamic tables are particularly useful for Order Forms, SOWs, ISAs, and other sales agreements that frequently include a varying number of rows.
A dynamic tables is a table that changes its number of rows depending on the input received in your launch form. As business users fill out the launch form, their responses generate the appropriate number of rows in the table.
A business user must click + Add under the question related to your table and a new row is added to the table. The business user can repeat this as many times as needed. As business users adds responses, the appropriate number of rows in the table are generated.
After you start a workflow, the metadata your retrieve from your launch form displays on the side panel underneath title of your dynamic table. For example, in the screenshot below the title of the table is ‘Contractors’ and the metadata gathered in the launch form is displayed below.
