Once you've customized a standard layout, you can add in any number of tables that you require.

1. Preview the Custom Layout.
2. Click Customise.
3. Click Tables (last button).
4. Use the search box at the top or scroll through the list to find the table you need.
5. Click on the table name to add it to the layout. The table element will appear at the top of your layout. Click and drag it into the correct position.

The table properties allow you to modify the table format and behavior.

1. Click on a table within the layout preview to activate the Properties box (see below).
2. You can edit any of the default settings for the selected table. Some common modifications include:
   1. Unlocking the element to allow the table to dynamically move when the layout is previewed (prevents overlapping of text).
   2. Adjusting the Table Width to the desired size (640px is the width of the layout page).
   3. Removing the table border by changing the Border Style to 'None'.
   4. Adding or removing columns as needed (see steps below).

You can easily modify the level of detail shown within a table by adding or removing columns from the table.

To add a column to the table:

1. In Properties, under Add Columns, use the dropdown to select the column that you would like to add to the table.
2. Click Add Column.
3. Repeat for each new column required.
4. (Optional) Reorder the columns by dragging them up or down in the Edit Columns list

To remove a column from the table:

1. Under Edit Columns, you can see a list of the columns that exist in the layout.
2. Click X to remove a column. 

When working with Asset Tasks, there are two different asset tables to choose from to add to your layouts:

• Assets Table - this is ideal for showing the status of the asset checklist, i.e. Pass, Fail or N/A
• Task Asset Custom Fields - this is ideal if you're using Task Asset Fields.

Alternatively, you can skip this step and use our prebuilt asset report layouts. See below.

To make asset reporting even easier, we've created a couple of standard task layouts available for you:

Both of these layouts contain a table called Task Asset Custom Fields. You can use these layouts as is, or for further customization, you can:

• Edit the table to add a few task asset fields which will display vertically down the page (if using Asset Report Simple), and then save this custom layout, or
• Further customize the layout (if using Asset Report Detailed), and then save this custom layout, or alternatively
• Use an existing custom layout that you use in your business and add this table to it and customise it further. See Task Asset Custom Fields, below.

The task asset custom fields table also contains the main fields from the assets table, however, it is more suited to display information from task asset fields.

Using this table, the applicable task asset fields automatically display indented underneath each asset.

Using this table, you also have the option of grouping the assets in the table by asset type, asset category, or asset checklist status. In the above image, we have grouped the assets by asset type. If you need to remove the groupings, select 'Ungrouped'.
