Table Imports

Romaq · April 1st, 2014, 05:31 AM

I have sets of data, such as the Deities of Golarion. They all have common fields such as alignment, domains, favored weapons, and so on.

I can VERY easily put all of this into a spreadsheet, and I wish there was some way to "slurp" a spreadsheet into Realm Works, including with tags.

I'm still trying to get a feel for my way around, but a "table view" of a group would help me make sure I have consistent information on the members within the group. I would hate to just do copies of a complete group member and screw up not changing the data of the new member.

There may be a way to accomplish this more easily, but at the moment I'm more fumbling around than anything.

Being able to import a list from a spreadsheet would be great!

Say if you had a list of characters, this would be a great way to create several topics at once!

Yes Either a full blown spread sheet, or alternately some sort of table, if not the ability to add columns in the text snippet, or even just being anle to use tabs inside a snippet. anything to help with table or charts.
IE. making a table of distances and travel times between cities. currently using just space to make the chart looks like kobold droppings as you cannot make the separate rows/columns line up.

Courier New is a non-proportional font, which means each character takes the same amount of width.

When I need to align things, I use it. Not the prettiest font, but it is better than Kobold Droppings

+1 for data import. Pulling from a spreadsheet or CSV would be super helpful. And just as importantly, it's a step towards exporting data.
