How to add a table in your designs with PosterMyWall

Tables allow you to display information in your flyer in a methodical way. It’s great for making price lists, event schedules and other data entries. To create your own table, read on to learn more, or watch the above video.

Open a design in the PosterMyWall editor, and select ‘Layout’.

Click the ‘Add Table’ button and you’ll see a dialog like so:

You will notice a series of icons on the far-right column, each one with a specific function, described below:

Star: It allows you to highlight a row. You can highlight multiple rows. Highlighted rows can have different colors.
Plus: Creates a copy of the row.
Trashcan: Deletes the row.
Up arrow: Moves the selected row one row up.
Down arrow: Moves the selected row one row down.

The trash can icon allows you to remove a column, and the plus icon adds a column.

Here’s an example of a table, inside the editing interface:

And now here’s the same table in your design:

You can do a lot more with your table to make it look better.

Change Layout Styles

You can set the color and opacity of the background (or non-highlighted region) or use two other background types. You can also set borders and change their size and look.

Use the star button to highlight some columns, then select a different color for the highlighted column to create contrast in your table.

Backgrounds

Backgrounds come in 3 types. These are:

Transparent

Highlighted Items

Quick recap: Inside the table edit interface, clicking the star highlights the row. You can also set the color, opacity and text color for the highlighted rows.
