8.1.2 Passing Inputs to an Embedded Table or Variable
To link a Viewsheet input control (other than a Check Box) to an Embedded Table or Variable in the Worksheet, follow these steps:
1. Right-click on the input control, and select 'Properties'.
2. Select the Data tab.
Multiple controls can be linked to the same Embedded Table.
3. Click the 'Target' menu:
a. To access an Embedded Table, expand the 'Table' node, and select the desired Embedded Table Data Block of the Worksheet.
b. To access a Variable, expand the 'Variable' node, and select the desired Variable asset in the Worksheet. Skip to the final step below.
4. For an Embedded Table, click the 'Browse' button next to the 'Table' field. This displays a representation of the Embedded Table.

5. In the displayed Embedded Table, click to select the table cell into which input values should be passed. This automatically populates the 'Column' and 'Row' menus with the corresponding cell indices.
The 'Row' menu displays the format “row: row value.” For example, “1:25” indicates that input values are passed to the second row of the Embedded Table, which currently contains the value “25.”
Alternatively, specify the target cell directly from the provided menus:
a. From the 'Column' menu, select the appropriate field of the Embedded Table Data Block.
b. From the 'Row' menu, select the row of the table to which the input element should provide data.
6. Click 'OK' to exit the 'Properties' dialog box.
To set the options displayed by the Input control, see Creating a Radio Button/Check Box/Combo Box.
The control is now linked to the Worksheet's Embedded Table or Variable, and changes you make using the control will alter the values in the specified Embedded Table cells or Variable.
