# 7.1 Introduction to Adding Tables

Unlike forms, tables allow you to display more than one data object from a collection at a time. Figure 7-1 shows the SRList page in the SRDemo application, which uses a browse table to display the current service requests for a given user.

Figure 7-1 The Service Request Table

Once you drop a collection as a table, you can then add selection components that allow users to select a specific row. When you add command buttons bound to methods, users can then click those buttons to execute some business logic on the selected row. For more information, see Section 10.3, "Creating Command Components to Execute Methods". You can also modify the default components to suit your needs.
