The **`Table`** element is used to display tabular data and forms part of the two composite elements in the Page Element Library: [Table (3 cols)](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/table-3-cols.md) and [Table (4 cols)](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/table-4-cols.md).
The table element consists of a table head section and a table body section.
The table head section usually contains a single [Table Row](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/table-row.md) element with one or more [Table Heading Cell](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/table-heading-cell.md) elements. The number heading cells matches the number of columns you need.
{% hint style="success" %}
NOTE: The table head section can contain more than one table row element.
{% endhint %}
The table body section usually contains one or more [Table Row](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/table-row.md) elements, each of which contain [Table Column Cell](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/table-column-cell.md) elements.

## Options
The [Options tab](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#options-tab) settings for this element are described below:
### `Borders`
Controls the type of borders shown for the table. The possible values are:
* Default
Separates each row of the table with a horizontal line.
* Disabled
Displays the table without any borders
* Enabled
Displays the table with borders
### `Compact Spacing`
When ON, reduces the padding inside each heading and column cell to give the table a compact look.
### `Striped Rows`
Render alternate rows using a gray background to give the table a striped look.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can further customize your table via [Custom CSS Classes](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#custom-css-classes) or the [Design Tab](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#design-tab).
