Allowing the Data Page builder to construct the table

This technique uses an empty <table name="ContainerElement "/> node in your HTML page on which the Data Page constructs the table for you.

1. In the Data Page builder call editor, enable the Make UI From Data input for the container node. The Data Page Builder will analyze the children of <customer /> to create a row of Table headers and a row (which is repeated) of the table data. Look at the following sample data:

   ...
   <customers>
   <customer>
   <name>Joe</name>
   <id>111</id>
   <phone_number>555-1234</phone_number>
   </customer>
   <customer>
   <name>Jane</name>
   <id>222</id>
   <phone_number>555-2345</phone_number>
   </customer>
   <customer>
   <name>Jill</name>
   <id>333</id>
   <phone_number>555-3456</phone_number>
   </customer>
   </customers
   ...

2. To prompt the Data Page builder to construct the table to display the customer elements:

   1. Use the following HTML in your page to define the table: <table name="customers" />

   2. In a Data Page builder call, enable the Make UI from Data input.
