Developing an editable table

An editable table is a table that allows you to update records inline. This is a very common requirement in every web application that allows users to update records inline. So, in this section, we'll develop a page with a table that allows us to update the records inline.

We'll use the following steps to achieve this (developing an editable table) use case:

1. Populate the table from the Business Object using the ADP variable.
2. Register events on the table.
3. Implement the logic to support inline editing in a table.
4. Add a button to save all modified records.

We'll look at the aforementioned steps in the following sections.
