Explanation of the fields on the dialog
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Enter a descriptive name to apply to the table definition. |
| Category |
Select a category to assign to the table definition. Categorising table definitions makes it easier to find the table you are looking for, for example when selecting a table to apply to the current view. Whenever you select a table, they are arranged into their categories, with any tables that do not belong to a category being displayed below the table definition categories that do exist.
