The STEP Table Component is the table creation tool of the STEP Workbench. The STEP Table Component enables the creation and maintenance of dynamic, multidimensional tables with support for inheritance and advanced transformations. In addition, layout and table settings can be shared across classifications, publications, and even websites.
At their most basic, STEP Tables are used to present product information such as names, part numbers, and prices. The first of the following screenshots shows a sample price table as it looks in STEP Workbench. The second screenshot shows how this table looks on an InDesign page, dynamically mounted (placed) through the STEP'n'design component:
STEP Tables are typically more complex than the sample presented here, but thanks to inheritance, a STEP Table can be built once and used for an unlimited number of product presentations. And, because STEP Tables are dynamic product presentations, they will automatically adapt to data changes in the workbench.
