Reporting - Default Table Formatting Under User Settings

As a user, I would like to have the ability to define the default table formatting settings for font, border, font size, font style etc within the table tool so that I do not have to redefine each time I create a table.

 

I understand I could copy the table after doing it once and use for subsequent tables created, however it would nice to do this once and utilize this as the default for future workflows.

 

These settings could be defined in a report focused section of User Settings, or defined within the tool.  For example, if in the tool, features could include a box to (make current settings default, revert back to factory default, etc.)  Another beneficial feature would be to create "presets" that could be selected from a drop down that would automatically update the customized settings to match a previously defined combination of formatting specifications.

 

This could be extended further to formatting rules related to columns and tables as well, saving the time spent on setting up rules previously utilized.

User tool defaults have been a common request for the Alteryx Designer - I agree with you on the need.

Customizable default table settings would be very helpful for formatting all the tables in the workflow.
