# AutoTable

The AutoTable component is used to generate HTML tables from a given list of array entities.

An AutoTable will inspect the properties of each array entity and discover the index sets associated with them. It will only be able to generate a table if the index sets match for all array entities, although you have the ability to filter individual index sets per entity if you need to include arrays that contain additional indices.

AutoTable has the following presentation features:

- Sorting
- Filtering
- Pagination
- Custom cell rendering
- Data editing and validation

This section provides examples demonstrating pertinent AutoTable features. The examples will correspond to source code found in the Component Examples library from the following location:

    <installdir>/examples/insight/javascript/component_library.zip

AutoTable is based on the DataTables open source app - see https://www.datatables.net. If the functionality provided by AutoTable is not sufficient, then the underlying DataTables component can be configured directly.

Covered Topics

- Creating a Basic AutoTable
  The markup for a basic AutoTable is a standard HTML table tag with an id identifier.
- Multi-scenario
  By default AutoTable data for columns and indices will be loaded from the first scenario on the shelf.
- Table State Saving
  By default the display state of each table in a view is stored in the user's browser session.
