Tables are a type of custom property. They contain lists of other types of properties. Learn more: Edit custom properties in documents.

Properties in tables behave in exactly the same way as standard properties. For example, Categories can be multi-level and multi-value. Properties can be required, read-only, or hidden during the creation phase of the document only or for the full life-cycle of the document.

If a library administrator has configured a table in a document class, contributors can add and remove rows and fill in values for the properties listed in the table.
