Overview

You know the problem: Small changes in long tables require many clicks. Switching between modes is very time-consuming. Use our solution and save time - every time! Change table cells quickly with a simple double-click.

The Inline Table Editing tool allows users to directly edit the content of a table without switching to the edit mode, which is very convenient when working on pages with a lot of content.

Editing is done using the following icons:

  • Move the full row by using the inserted gray arrow icon to drag it
  • Edit the cell by clicking on the inserted gray pencil
  • Dropdown icon for editing the following options: 
    • Insert column before, insert column after
    • Insert row below
    • Remove column, remove row
    • Merge this cell with the next one

Configuration

The user is able to configure the Inline Table Editing plugin up to a certain point. The following options are available:

The "Always show icons" option allows the user to choose if the icons should always be shown for each cell by default or just during mouse-over. 

Example: when the "Always show icons" is set to "yes", it looks like this:

The "Row button layout" option allows the user to choose, on which side of a table's row the arrow should be shown.

Example: the arrow appears on the left side of the table
