How to create a signature using tables

Scenario

You wish to create a new signature template with row and column spacing, a grid, or stacked sections to display your content, instead of using a pre-created template or a blank canvas.

Resolution

The Tables element allows you to add a variety of table structures to your new template. You can choose from our collection of pre-defined table shapes when creating a new template, or create a custom table from the toolbox. Elements are added to the table cells and displayed in your signature based on the alignment/structure of your table.

To create a template using a table shape:

1. Log in to Exclaimer and select Signatures from the menu sidebar.
   
   

2. Select Create Signature.
   
   
3. In the Create New window, select Create Blank Signature.
   
   
   _{Select Create Blank Signature.}
   
   This opens the Table Shape window.
   
   
4. To choose from our pre-defined table shapes, select a table from the shapes shown, then select Yes.
   
   To create a custom table, select No to go directly to the canvas.
   
   Tip! All our table shapes can also be found in the toolbox in the Signature Designer. Expand the Tables section to add another table.
