We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Add the Table Widget to a Page

Accessibility & Compliance Tips

  • Ensure that every cell contains data. If there is no data available for a cell, enter N/A.
  • Ensure that header row or column information applies to all information in the cells below or across from it. To check, inspect page elements, and look for the <th> marker in the HTML.
  • Alphabetize
  • Try to keep tables as simple and short as possible.

    Was it suggested at some point to avoid using the Table widget? But rather use the table option within the Editor widget?

    Is the table widget ADA compliant?  I was told that using the table function in the editor is more ADA compliant - can someone please speak to this so we know when we are training new users if we should tell them not to use the table widget or if we need to redo all of all tables.
