When you wrap a repetition around a table row, the repetition symbol
doesn’t appear. Instead, a blue border appears around the row. To bind the
repetition, drag from the object browser to anywhere in the row (but not to
a dynamic element inside the row). The Inspector appears, allowing you to
complete the binding as usual.

Note:

You can also wrap a repetition around a single cell in a table. In addition,

this same procedure of wrapping a repetition around a table row or cell also
works for conditionals (see next section).

Conditionals

A conditional (WOConditional) is a dynamic container element that
displays its contents only if a particular condition is true. WOConditional’s
main attribute is

condition

is true (1),

Element path shows that the WORepetition is
contained by the table and contains a table row.
