Best Manufacturer Awards

Objectives

Generate an award with the following features:

• display a table,
• display a nested table

Solution

Here’s how to construct a template to achieve this with Carbone:

1. Layout

   Create a main table to structure the elements in your template.

   Notes: In the Table properties> Table tab, set the Text wrapping to None. In the Row tab, uncheck Allow row to break across pages to ensure consistency

2. Data

   Insert the appropriate Carbone tag to read data from your array (e.g.,{d.manufacturers[i].name}).

   Define the iteration [i+1] in row below to generate a row for each key (e.g., {d.manufacturers[i+1]})

   Note: Highlight the first row of your main table, right click, go to Table properties > Row, and select the option Repeat as header row at the top of each page to ensure it appears as a header on every page.

3. Nested array

   Insert a Table within a cell to display a nested array.

   Insert the appropriate Carbone tag to read data from your nested array (e.g.,{d.manufacturers[i].models[i].name}).

   Define the iteration [i+1] in row below to generate a row for each key (e.g., {d.manufacturers[i].models[i+1]})

   Note: Remove all borders from the nested table in Table Design to ensure better integration

And there you go!
