# Table {#content-element-table}

![](../../Images/AutomaticScreenshots/ContentOverview/TableTypicalPageContent.png)

The **Table** content element can be used to display tabular data.

> [!TIP]
> **Hint**
>
> In the database the data is saved as comma separated values (CSV), a
> plain text format for storing table data (numbers and text). This format
> can be used to import data from external sources.

By default the **Field delimiter** is a vertical bar "|", the
**Text enclosure** set to **none**.

A **Table caption** can be provided as a heading for the table.

Also some appearance options are available for the table. These can be found in the
**Appearance** tab:

-   **Columns**

    The maximum amount of columns. Even when more columns are defined in the
    **Table content** field, the table will only show the maximum amount of columns.

-   **Table class**

    Some predefined classes to style the table output.

-   **Table header position**

    The first row or the first column can be used as a table header.

-   **Use table footer**

    The last row will be used to group the table's footer area (which may be a summary, an
    addition of column values, or some call to action based on the preceding content).
