How to create a dynamic table
A dynamic table is a table where you can configure column data types, sort values, or make a cell required to fill in. You can use a table directly as-is, or insert it on a page.
There are several ways to create a page:
-
From any Wiki page, by entering the address for the new table manually.
-
In the cluster where you want to create it, by creating a subpage.
Enter table address manually
To create a new table:

Enter an address for the page.
By default, the page address is relative to your personal cluster. To specify an address relative to the Wiki main page, delete
