Row 3: Validation Rules

Different Types of Tables

Static Table

A static table is defined by the information that is already in one or more of its rows.
This will be a grid where the rows are already defined and none will be added during production.
By merging cells on the same row for the amount of columns you have, you will be able to get a row group in your static grid.

Dynamic Table

A dynamic table is defined by an empty row (or "ghost row") right under the column's headers.
This will be a table where you will be able to add rows whenever you need to.
By pressing on the "ghost row", you will be adding an extra row every time and the "ghost row" will move under the newly created row.
You can delete a row by selecting it and taping on the "-" icon next to it.
