Table row styling
Table row styling allows you to control the way a data record of a dynamic table is presented.
Using this feature you can define, for each data record, the background color, font and other style attributes, as well as the layout and dynamic content. You can also dynamically span a data record over multiple styled rows, or omit a data record altogether.
For example, you can create a table with two designs: blue for debit and green for credit. In the data source, in the “XMPieDesignSelector” column, you will assign each row the required design.
This feature is available for InDesign composition only.

This capability will also be available via PDF on Demand in Circle in the future. Read more
