Attribute Group Attributes

Extracts all attributes in a group.

Meta Data Attribute

Functions like the Attribute content definition except it can display an attribute that is defined on a reference. This will only display the value on a reference when the opposing row or column is using the Node Reference content definition (as opposed to the Referenced Node content definition).

Legal Attributes

Dynamically resolves legal attributes of the extracted products.

Current Object

Extracts or resolves an object based on where the table is extracted.

Product Content Definitions (here)

First Subproduct, Classification

Dynamically returns information from the first child (subproduct) of a selected classification. This can, for example, be used to create a header in a table.

First SubProduct, Family

Similar to 'First Subproduct, Classification.' Dynamically returns information from the first child (subproduct) of a selected product family.

Node Reference

Extracts values from a referenced product, classification, or asset where the reference is owned by a configured product, classification, or asset.

Extracts the parent product up a specified number of levels in the product hierarchy.

Parent Name

Asset Content Definitions (here)

Asset Reference

Inserts an image or asset based on the selected asset type.

Free Text

Enables you to enter free text content directly in table cells. Free text is used where no suitable attribute exists, or where you need to enter some ad hoc data. Free text cells take priority over any selections made at the row or column level, meaning that the free text will appear regardless of what content definition has been chosen for the other row or column.

Creating Table Types (here) . Free text cells can be translated if the table type is language dependent.
