# HTML table

The HTML table allows for the usage of HTML code to customize and present data. The source of the data can either be directly from a database or through a workflow. The HTML table portlet is, by default, wrapped as a table.

## General

General data is required for all portlets.

[General configuration](/development/flow-portal-2/portlets/common-configuration.md#general)

## Listeners

The portlet can listen to the following events:

* On Row Selection
* On Refresh
* On Point Selection

[Listeners configuration](/development/flow-portal-2/portlets/common-configuration.md#listeners)

## Data

### Data source

The portlet data source configuration enables the portlet to execute specified queries towards the chosen database connector to fetch data, or fetch data from a workflow.

* Database: uses a flow connector to retrieve data from a database
* Workflow: runs a workflow to retrieve data

[Data source configuration](/development/flow-portal-2/portlets/common-configuration.md#database-source)

[Workflow source configuration](/development/flow-portal-2/portlets/common-configuration.md#workflow-source)

### Data source columns

Manage: the columns can be configured as a grid view as well as the list view. This view can help for a better overview and quicker configuration when a lot of columns are in use.

Click *Execute* in the data source section to fetch the columns. Each column can be configured with:

* display name
* column type

There are a number of column types to choose from. The default column type is text.

* Text: use to display column as a text fields
* Number: use for number fields where the number is an integer
* Decimal: use for numbers with decimals
* Date: will display the column as a date with no time
* Date & Time: use to display date and time

### Default presentation

## Content

In the table header and body sections, use HTML to configure the portlet content.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Content" %}

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-M1VxpVbgqEFqvBycveE" alt=""></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Preview" %}

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-M1Vy5qDCSFXjvHqgarR" alt=""></div>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Style

Change the header text color and add a header stripe by configuring style.
