• Selecting Drill down depth shading. When enabled, each drill-down level is highlighted with a different color shade.
• Force column width sets the width of each indicator column. In case the total width of the columns exceeds the width of the screen, a scrollbar is displayed. If the table has too much space, data columns will be wider to take up the remaining space.
• Force left header width allows the user to set the width of the whole drilll-down area when standard drill-down (not date or time) is used. When there are multiple drill-down attributes in the table, the width is applied to all of them together. In case the width of the columns exceeds the width set in the table appearance, a scrollbar is displayed.
• Set sort indicator and its aggregation.
• Format priority - If you are using table with formula in one axis and indicators on second axis, you can specify which of them will have priority with output format. Formatted row/column has priority over non formatted. If two formatted axis collide. This settings will set priority.

• Prevent to Do not refresh on data change. When this is activated, page must be refreshed first to apply this change.
• Move your view Title at bottom of the view.
• You can remove empty rows after table is rendered. If you are using formulas, they should return NaN. This is best to use with Do not merge same members. Removing empty rows is done after table is rendered. It may take a second.
• Using Custom renderer which is defined in a BellaDati extension (available since BellaDati 2.9.4). See Using Custom Table Renderer for more details.
• View display formula - using formula, that will return true or false will determine, if view will be displayed.
