This is an example of 5 Structured Tables stacked on top of each other. Note that some of the structured table layout & features do not display in preview.

This content type allows us to create accessible tables that are mobile-responsive. Since over half of site visitors browse our website on a phone, this is a great option to use for most tables.

Use this when

• You want to let site visitors easily compare data
• You have an especially large table, with up to 6 data points or column headings

If you have a really simple chart with few columns, you may want to create a table in a text editor which is a special type of field in Terminal 4. You can do this in text editors that have a ribbon at the top with more editing options. There are a couple content types that have this type of field:

• Scannable Paragraph
• Muliticolumn Content 

If you use this type of table, make sure you check how it looks on a phone.

Simple text editor table

Do

• Use more than one Structured Table at a time to create more rows in your table.
• Add a table heading to help visitors better understand your table.
• Make sure you enter the table heading in the first row of your table. It won't display otherwise.
• Keep column headings and cell values short.
• Use sentence case (capitalize the first word) in cells and column headings.
• Use consistent column headings from row to row.

Don't

• Don't create tables with only 1 row.
• Don't leave blank cells.
• Don't use full sentences in cells. Keep it short, brief and scannable.

As you're creating your table, make sure you consider non-visual users:

• Use clear & descriptive row headings. This is how non-visual users will navigate your table.
• Don't leave cells blank. Use text instead, such as "not available", "does not apply", "no data", or even "0". Do not use dashes ("-").
