"topic": "tables",
"use": "Two to five records stand side by side with the same criteria — the health insurers an employee could join, compared by contribution, sick pay and contact. The records are the columns and the criteria the rows, so every value stands on one line with the values it competes with, and the comparison ends in a decision under the table. Where the number of records varies from case to case, or the criteria differ from record to record, a fixed table does not hold; then the records are picked from a list first.",
"decisions": [
"The records are the columns and the criteria the rows: every value stands on one line with the values it is compared to, and each criterion has one label and one place for every record.",
"Two to five columns. Choose health insurers says so in its subtitle and counts the columns in use: from six on every column is too narrow to read, and one column compares nothing.",
"Outside two to five, Build comparison is unavailable and the footer says what to change: a comparison that cannot be read is not built.",
"A row whose values differ stands in semibold, and a row that is the same for every record says so under its criterion: the eye goes to the differences, and the rows that decide nothing can be passed over.",
"The column headers stay in view while the page scrolls: a value read without the name of its record belongs to nobody.",
"The comparison ends in a decision under the table, where reading it ends, not in the toolbar: the line names the insurer with the lowest total contribution, and Adopt writes it to the employee the comparison was opened for. Without that button the comparison is information, and the result is carried elsewhere by hand.",
"Adopt shows that it is saving and takes no second press meanwhile, and the result is confirmed in a toast: what changes is the employee's record, which is not on this screen.",
"Cancel leaves the comparison as it was, without asking: the choice is a few ticks, and nothing that was typed is lost."
