- | To make the component table look like a real table we have to line up the labels with the editors. To do that you select the label in the editor and set the anchors to your desired positions. In the "Edit" menu of the labels we set them to bold as well. Next up we are going to add a title to the right side of the screen. To do that we change the type of our panel in its "Edit" menu. To do that we select the left side icon under the "Margins" of the panel. After that we add a label "Edit Invoice" and add an icon in front of it with the Font Awesome Icon "file-text-o". | + | To make the component table look like a real table, we have to line up the labels with the editors.

- | As the last few steps we are going to add a "Sub Total" area under the component table. For this we have to add a "Total" column to our invoice table. We already added a column in this tutorial so we are going to skip this part. As the next step we are going to add a label "Sub Total" and the new editor "Total" from our table directly under the "Amount" column of our component table.

- | As the next step we are going to make the table do the calculations when a row is changed. Select a component in our component table and press "Create Row Value Changed". In the following wizard we select "Calculate Value" specify that we want to "Write to" the invoice item amount column and add "[Invoice Item.Quantity] * [Invoice Item.Rate]" as the Formula. This is done to save the amount into the invoice item row. We add another command, select "Calculate Value" once more but "Write to" our total column in the invoice table now. The formula is "sum([Invoice Item.Amount])" in this case. To add columns to our formula we can press the button (1) next to the formula field. This way you can add the columns of our tables via dropdown (2). | + | Next, we are going to make the table do the calculations when a row is changed.
