How to create a signature using tables? – Exclaimer Cloud

Scenario

You wish to create an email signature from scratch.

Resolution

You can easily create an email signature using tables - they are a great way to build and control the email signature design, using rows, columns, and padding to add space and give the signature template a professional feel.

To create a skeleton table:

From the All Signatures tab, click CREATE SIGNATURE.
The Signature Designer screen is displayed with the Create New window open.
Click CREATE BLANK SIGNATURE.

The Table Shape window is displayed.

When designing a signature layout, it is often useful to work within a table with columns and rows representing the required signature shape.
If you want to base your signature on one of the pre-defined table layouts, select the required table layout and click Yes.

If you don't want to base your signature on a pre-defined table layout and prefer to work with the other table options, click No.
In the Signature Designer, from the left-hand pane, expand the Tables section.
Example:
From the options available, drag and drop the required table into the signature canvas/griddled background.
Example:

If you don't prefer the available layouts, you can create your own custom layout.
Example:

The Custom... window is displayed.
The custom table allows you to use more columns or rows (maximum of 20 cells).
As required, enter the Columns and Rows.
Example:
Click OK to create the specified table and close the Custom... window.

To create a signature skeleton for your layout, you can use more than one table for the structure.

For example:
- Drag and drop a table shape into the signature canvas/griddled background:

- Drag and drop another table shape:

- Drag and drop another table shape:

- You can add in the elements: fields, images, social media, and use the table properties to add widths, add space and stretch the inner tables to create a structure you can use throughout.
