Table properties (ctrl)

The ['ctrl'] section contains properties for a database table in general.

These properties are basically divided into two main categories:

Properties which affect how a table is displayed and handled in the backend interface. This includes which icon is shown and which name is given for a record. It defines which column contains the title value, which column contains the type value etc.
Properties which determine how entries in the backend interface are processed by the system (TCE). This includes the publishing control, the "deleted" flag, whether a table can only be edited by admin-users, whether a table may only exist in the tree root etc.
