Use tables sparingly. Do not use tables for formatting.
Consider tables when you
- Have a series of “if, then” requirements
- Need to compare numbers, such as costs
If/Then example
| If you send in your form... | We must receive it by... |
|---|---|
| Online | The 15th of the month |
| By mail | The 25th of the month |
Number comparison example
| Intervention delivery cost | Definition | Number of interventions | Percentage of interventions |
|---|---|---|---|
| No cost | No new change to delivery medium | 27 | 18% |
| Very low cost | Added email | 58 | 39% |
| Moderate cost | Added staffing costs as part of intervention delivery | 2 | 1% |
Write descriptive labels for the columns and rows. Tables have specific accessibility requirements and may require 508 remediation.
