PAK Commands – Configurable Table
1. Summary
This command lets you configure custom tables using a JSON representation. The user can then extend the table by adding new rows.
Available data types are:
| DataType | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
A normal, one line, text input field. |
|
|
An input field, that only allows numbers (positive and negative) as values. Supplies a button to increase/decrease a number by one. |
|
|
A checkbox input. |
|
|
A button that can be used when offering several mutually exclusive options. Selecting one option in a group automatically deselects any previously chosen option in that same group. |
|
|
A drop down menu, where one of the specified options can be selected. |
2. Examples
Due to simplicity, the descriptiveText input parameter will be left empty for the examples. By default, it is set to „Please fill out the table below to continue.“.

Let’s set up a really simple table with one column to input a name. The tableMapping parameter is required and takes the table definition as a JSON.
[
{
"key": "name",
"header": "Name",
"form": "TextField",
"mandatory": true
}
]When running the command with this sample input, we get the following output.
The user can now extend the table by providing new rows with hitting the Add Button. After a new row is created, it can also be deleted by clicking on the trash can.
Additionaly a prefilled table can be provided over the tableValue input field. An example for the above mentioned table:
[
{
"name": "Max"
}
]The prefilled table will look as follows:
Additional table lines can be added as follows:
[
{
"name": "Max"
},
{
"name": "John"
},
{
"name": "Alex"
}
]Every first level Json Object added represents one line.
