Maintain Banding

Table banding is set up to alternate between blue and white rows. To create multiple blue rows together, use Maintain Banding. This setting sets a row to be the same color as the row above it.

Using Maintain Banding

Examples

You may prefer to use Maintain Banding where a label spans multiple rows but should appear visually to be a single row.

Maintain Banding also creates visual groupings, such as in proxy statement tables.

Applying Maintain Banding

  1. Right click in the table, then select View Tagging Table.
  2. In the Certent DM Tagging Table window, right click the row number of the selected row, then click Maintain Banding.
  3. Click OK to close the window.
  4. On the Disclosure Management ribbon, click Table Banding, then Band Current Table to reapply the updated banding.

Table banding is set up to automatically alternate blue and white rows. There may be places where you'd like to have multiple blue rows together. For example, here on the Balance Sheet, we have Preferred Stock; although it's two rows in Excel, we'd like it to appear as if it's one large row, so both blue or both white. Right click on the table, and select View Tagging Table. In the View Tagging Table window, locate the rows. Select the second row - the one you'd like to be the same color as the one before it. Right click on the row number, and select Maintain Banding. Here we'll also select the next one down for Common Stock as well. Click OK, and then reapply banding. On the Disclosure Management ribbon, click Table Banding, and Band Current Table. Now you can see the way the Maintain Banding setting looks as if the Preferred Stock label is all in one big row.
