Data tables

A data table is a set of values for a step that are specified in a rows-and-columns format. Data tables make it easier to specify multiple values for a single step where it would not be practical to use parameters.

A data table can optionally have a set of headers in the first row or in the first column.

• If the first row is a header row, then each row of the table is considered a single record of data.
• If the first column is a header column, then each column of the table is considered a single record of data.

For example, consider the following:

When I create a note with the following:
  |  Topic           |  Pre-renewal direction                     |
  |  Subject         |  My Subject                                |
  |  Security Level  |  Unrestricted                              |
  |  Text            |  Refer to customer service representative  |

In this example, the When step specifies that a note will be created. The note has four fields, and a value is specified for each field.
