Tables

A table is a top-level definition, meaning that is indent level is always zero. Here is a basic example of a table:

table orders:
    module: ordering
    description: Orders
    uisort: 100

The above definition is composed of the following:

• The table definition itself, composed of the keyword "table" followed by the table name, and a colon.
• The property module is required. Every table must be placed into a module.
• The description is used by the user interface whenever the table is referenced.
• The optional uisort property determines where the table appears on the menu. If you leave this out, the tables will appear in the order they are defined.

A table is not much without some columns in it, the next page will show how to place columns into tables.
