Data Table XPaths: This field is used when you have a data table where the data is related to each other, like the table below which has table header tag<th>. If this table is not specified in the command (Using an XPath such as //table), it will be considered a layout table (which is a table that can be used to position elements). So by default, all tables are inspected by the command as layout tables, except data tables specified in the field.
Usage Scenario: Suppose we want to check compliance of Reference app main page as well as the table of users page.
Procedure: Define a step that navigates to our Reference app and another step that performs the 508 compliance check. Then define steps that navigate to Profiles > User tables and define one last step that checks the profile table page. Your steps will look like this:
