4.1.2 Creating an Embedded Table
An Embedded Table is a table into which you can manually type data. Embedded tables can be edited both within Visual Composer and within the Portal, allowing the end-user to enter data in tabular form.
Note: Selection elements do not affect Embedded Tables.
An Embedded Table in a Viewsheet is always connected to an Embedded Table in the underlying Worksheet. Edits that you make to the Viewsheet's Embedded Table are automatically propagated to the associated Worksheet table.
To add a full Embedded Table Data Block, follow the steps below:
1. Select an Embedded Table Data Block from the data source in the Component panel.

2. Drag the entire Data Block directly onto the Viewsheet grid. This adds the entire Data Block to the Viewsheet as an Embedded Table.
Ctrl-click to select multiple cells.
3. (Optional) To delete an unwanted column or columns, click to select the unwanted column header cell. Right-click on the selected cell(s), and choose 'Delete Column(s)' from the context menu.
To build an Embedded Table column-by-column, follow the steps below:
1. Drag a Table element from the Component tree into the Viewsheet grid. This creates an empty Table element.
2. Expand an Embedded Table Data Block in the Component panel.
3. Drag-and-drop an individual column or columns onto the empty Table element.
4. Repeat to add additional columns. A green highlight on the Table indicates where the dragged columns will be placed.
