How to Add a Table

1. Log into the NTB and browse to 'Tables | Add'.

2. Enter a logical name (e.g. 'Timetable'), the number of rows and columns and click 'Add'.

You cannot add rows or columns later on so plan ahead carefully.

The new table can now be added to a playlist but you will need to edit the table data and style.

How to Edit a Table Data

1. Browse to 'Tables', click the "Edit" button for the table that you want to change and go to the 'Contents' tab.

2. Type data directly into the table cells.

3. Click 'Save'.

How to Edit a Table Style

1. Browse to 'Tables', click the 'Edit' button for the table that you want to change and go to the 'Style' tab.

2. Click a button to edit the border, column widths or individual cells.

Note that changes made to one cell can be applied to all cells in the same row or the same column or all cells to the right and below. Recommendation: Start editing at the top-left cell (A1).

3. Set the font, colours, alignment and elect which other cells should get this new style.

4. Click 'Apply'

How to Update the Data in the Table Automatically

FTP to the /control/table folder on the NTB.
Locate and download the XML file that represents the table that you wish another computer to update.
Examine the file structure and have software written that will enable the other computer to periodically write a file in the same file structure and upload it to the same folder, overwriting the old version.

Alternatively make another computer generate a completely different HTML table and upload it to the NTB. Then add that HTML page to a playlist.

Alternatively, save the HTML page on another web server and put the URL to that page in a playlist on the NTB.
