Interactivity > Interactive Table
New in 3.14. This page allows the creation of an table containing a number of interactive cells. These can be:
- Information cells containing a button which, when clicked can open additional information in a lightbox, or reveal additional information within the cell itself.
- or Question cells containing a text box in the cell, or a button which, when clicked, opens a lightbox containing a question that is answered in a text box or via a drop down menu.
Additional options allow the page to be set up so that interactive cells are all available immediately, or only after previous cells have been interacted with.
To create this page, first you need to create your table and then make individual cells interactive using;
