CADWorx Spec Editor Home tab: Add Table > Data Table 
Adds a data table to a Data Tables specific selected category in Catalog Data. This option is only available when categories have been previously created, and a particular category must be selected. For more information, see Data Tables folder.
Name
Specifies the table name. You can use commas within table names, however, the software restricts the following characters in the table name: < > / \ " : ? * | = ` '. The software also limits the name to 255 characters.
Category
Specifies the category of the data table. If you add a data table by a group folder, then you can select a category from the list. If you have added a data table to a category, then this option becomes unavailable.
Type
Specifies the component type applied to the table. For more information, see Data Tables Properties.
Size Table
Specifies the size table attached to the data table.
Part Number
Specifies the part number assigned to the table.
Selection Code
Specifies a selection code for the gasket and bolt data tables. The Selection Code option is only available when you add a gasket or bolt data table. For more information, see Selection Codes.
Default Component Settings
Group Name
Specifies a group for the data table. You can select a category from the list, or
type a name in the Group box. You can also click the Group ellipsis 
, and then add groups to the Group Data Table Manager. The Group box defaults to the group folder you select in Data Tables. For more information, see Data Table List Mode Panel, and Group Data Table Manager Dialog Box.
BOM Type
Specifies the default bill of material type for the component.
Layer Name
Specifies the default layer of the component.
Color Index
Specifies the default color of the component in a drawing. Select 0 - ByLayer, 1 - Red, 2 - Yellow, 3 - Green, 4 - Cyan, 5 - Blue, 6 - Magenta, 7 - White/Black, from the list or type 0 through 255 to specify other colors.
Topworks
Specifies the default topworks for the component. The Topworks option enables when the component requires a topwork detail.
Sort Sequence
Specifies the location of the item in the bill of material. This number is pulled from the program code when adding a new component. However, when editing an existing component, the program code from the original selection stays the same. You have the option to leave this number as it is or change it based on the following. If you entered 999, this component is placed last in the list. If you enter 0, it is first in the list. If you set the same sort numbers for different components in the specification, CADWorx places the components in the list in an alphabetical order.
Isogen Identifier
Specifies the default identifier used by Isogen for the component. For more information, see SKEY Information in the CADWorx Plant User's Guide.
Isogen SKEY
Specifies the default SKEY used by Isogen for the component. For more information, see SKEY Information in the CADWorx Plant User's Guide.
Isogen Message
Specifies the Isogen Message.
Isogen Type
Choose the Isogen Type for the Component
Applicable Gaskets
Specifies the applicable gasket for the component based on the selection code. The value that you choose in the Applicable Gaskets list determines the gasket that inserts when you place a component pair that requires a gasket, such as flanged components, clamped components, flanged end-types, and clamped end types. You can either type the code in the Applicable Gaskets box, or select an available code from the list. The Applicable Gaskets option only displays when the component allows a gasket. To assign selection codes, see Assign selection codes to components without catalog defaults.
Applicable Bolts
Specifies the applicable bolt for the component based on the selection code. The value that you choose in the Applicable Bolts list determines the bolt that inserts when you place a component pair that requires a bolt, such as flanged components, clamped components, flanged end-types, and clamped end types. You can either type the code in the Applicable Bolts box, or select an available code from the list. The Applicable Bolts option only displays when the component allows a bolt. To assign selection codes, see Assign selection codes to components without catalog defaults.
Optional Component
Sets the component to an optional component.
Default Connection Settings
Apply same end-type on all ends

The Default Settings, and the Connection Settings display in the Properties pane for the selected data table. These settings are also displayed for the component

settings display when you create the component in the project file.
