Working with data items

Data items can be used to populate the table with information. Clicking Data Items on the Data Source tab causes the Data Items dialog box to appear.

The items that display in the list are those that have satisfied the filters defined on the Data Filters dialog box.

In addition, you can also add and sort table fields from the Data Items dialog box the same way you are able to from the Data Filters dialog box.
