Add a Table

To add tables to contracts, the first step is to create placeholders for these table in your Team's template(s). Note that only Team Editors or Owners have access to the template editor, where these placeholders are created.

Table placeholders are added to templates as a variable type called a table variable. Create a new table variable by typing the [#, adding in the name of your variable, then once created, select Table is the Type.

Once "Table" is selected from the list, fill in the name of each column in the table. For example, if the table to be created is a guest list for a catered event, the columns might include "Name," "Table Number," "RSVP," and "Dinner Selection" as seen here:

Once the variable has been created in the template, defined column headers appear in each new contract where this deal-specific information can be filled in row-by-row:

To save the information entered into a table row, press "enter" at the end of the row. This will add a new row to the table which can be filled in, or, if the table is complete, may be left blank. Blank rows will not appear in the final contract/pdf.

Note that during contract review if a table variable is present at least one table row must be added and something entered in at least one box. For unneeded tables, "N/A" may be added to close the variable and proceed to signing.

Totaling Within a Table Variable

Now, click the Table variable again and toggle on the Show Total Row option - you will then see the option to update the name of the row where the total will appear. Interested in learning about other types of variables you can add to a template? Click here!
