Remarks

You can add as many Prop.name rows as you need, assign meaningful names to the rows, and set cell values. To add a shape data item to an existing Shape Data section, right-click a row and click Insert Row on the shortcut menu.

You can reference these cells by their row name, which appears in a ShapeSheet window in red text. To assign meaningful names to Prop.name rows, click the row, and then type a name such as Price, for example, to create the row name Prop.Price. You can then reference the Label cell by using Prop.Price.Label.

The row name you enter must be unique within the section.
