# Overview

This example was motivated by this question:<span style="color: #091e42"> </span>**Multiple views of a single editable table?**<span style="color: #091e42"> </span> The use case is to have a single table to maintain and present only some of the data from the table on different pages so that it represents a view more appropriate for the users of that page or for the context for the page.

# Steps


> Macro (table-plus)
> 
> | **Step ** | **Discussion ** | **Example ** |
> | --- | --- | --- |
> | Create a separate page that only contains the table data. | - Use a Confluence native table | [Monthly Temperatures](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74814519) |
> | Create a use page using the include page macro and the [Table Plus Macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74815966). | - This is where you are going to going to make your column selections and unique styling and other options. | [Monthly Average Temperatures](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74814495) |
> | Create one or more similar pages with different column selections as needed. |  | [Monthly Minimum and Maximum Temperatures](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74814491) |

> ℹ️ <span style="color: #000000">If hide columns using </span>*<span style="color: #000000">columnTypes</span>*<span style="color: #000000"> and provide attributes for unhidden columns using the Column attributes, ensure that you provision 'null' entries for the hidden columns.</span>

# Selection

The selection is made by setting the **Column types** parameter to hide (**H**) the columns not needed for this specific page. For the [Monthly Temperatures](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74814519) example, we hide the 2nd and 3rd columns. 

```
Column types: S,H,H,F
```
