Table rules
Table rules is one category of rules to enable table operations such as sorting, copying table rows to another table, exporting and importing table data as .csv files and adding and removing table rows. These operations are useful to implement in external data sources, automating actions using Kianda processes.
Take an example of a Sort table rule. Implementing this rule will result in a table being sorted in an ascending or descending manner depending on what column of the table you want to sort by. For an example, take the image below as your table.
You can attach the Sort table rule to a button and selecting one of the columns available, for example Total Price, and the order of sorting for example descending. The result of the table after sorting will look as follows:
