Naming and tables and cells
By default, Web Intelligence names each table and free-standing cell with a default name
Block1, Block2, Block3, and so on. You can rename tables and cells with meaningful
names to make it easier to select the formatting options for a specific table or cell or to
align them in relation to other tables or charts on the report page.
Note: In all the following procedures you can select multiple cells by holding down the Ctrl
key as you select.
To name tables and free standing cells
1. Select the table or free standing cell, right click, select Format from the menu then
select Table from the sub menu.
