There are several settings options to add a column to the table and put the basic column criteria to create each column. The first option, Basic Settings, is often where you can establish a column with basic choices like column name, column key, data type, and even more.
Let’s have a look at this simple guide to learn how to create a column with these Basic Settings.
- Go to the Ninja Tables plugin from the dashboard first and then click on the Edit option under the specific table.
- Next, click on the Add Column button.
- A pop-up will appear with the Basic Settings located on the first tab.
- In this tab, you will notice various basic options, and they are required to fill up. Here’s a detailed explanation of each of these options –
- Column Name: To set the header title, use this option to provide the name of a column. This field must be filled out. One more important thing is that the Column Name is HTML Supported.
