Editing the table mode of a table

Tables can have two different modes:

  In the graphical representation of a variant of the setup of a station group, the text Place Cart here is displayed within a variable table.

• Fixed table
  In the setup of a station group, carts can be assigned to fixed tables. The assignments are inherited by the other variants of the setup under the station group and cannot be changed or removed in the variants.
