In the post at:

https://lucidchart.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/207022906-How-do-I-customize-the-Table-Data-Grid-shape-in-UI-Mockups-

it states:

To edit the table double-click open the "Edit Markup" window. This window describes the current style options and displays an editing field that allows you to change the content and column width (1st section) and style (2nd section) of the table. Use commas to indicate the error and a line break to create a row. Adding a new line of content will input that information in a new row in the same order as seen in the editor. Text is case sensitive and using special characters will input check-boxes and radio buttons.

 

Can you please advise what "special character" can be used to get a Check Box to appear in a column?

 

Also is there documentation on each of these shapes? If so where do i find it?

Hello do I have the ability to customize the width of each column for Table/Data Grids?

I have the same issue as Justin.  For a table matrix or grid with many columns and rows I need ways of managing ranges of columns and ranges of rows e.g. - column width.  I submitted a feature request form.  Until that is possible I will have to continue to use Excel.

Is there a way to add a check box in a real table that is data linked?  ie I'm making a task list in one of my documents.

Hi Tucker

Great question. Enabling tick/untick boxes is not currently possible in Lucidchart but this would be a really cool feature. You're welcome to share the idea with our development team by replying here!

Thanks!

Hi, I see that there is a feature now to customize column width for Table/Data Grid using {0,0,0,3,3,3,5,4,4,3,0} format. However, is there a way to specify/customize row height?

My current wireframe table looks like this.
