3.1.4 Tables

Player Type

HTML

Tables are a convenient way of displaying static data on the iCOMPEL. Tables can also be used as the basis for Ad hoc

entries that are controlled by local users. For example, you may create a table that shows room allocations for a

conference center. The iCOMPEL creates Tables directly, using HTML. This means that Tables can only be displayed in

Zones that permit HTML content.
