Create clean, consistent tables that update automatically from your datasource.
Many publications rely on tables — pricing grids, technical specifications, size charts, comparison tables and more. EasyCatalog makes building these effortless. Instead of manually typing values or correcting spreadsheets pasted into InDesign, you can pull tabular data directly from your datasource and have EasyCatalog assemble a fully formatted table instantly.
Your information stays accurate. Your layout stays consistent. And changes in your data are reflected in your document with a single refresh.
Create Professionally Formatted Tables in Seconds
EasyCatalog generates tables and matrix layouts directly from your data, complete with your preferred styles, formatting rules and structure. Choose your fields, define how rows and columns should be built, and create polished layouts in a fraction of the time it would take manually.
This works beautifully for traditional tables as well as more complex matrix tables where multiple attributes intersect — ideal for product variations, SKUs, sizes, colours, or model families.
Work Smarter with Matrix Tables
Matrix tables let you display combinations of attributes at a glance, such as:
- Product sizes across colours
- Model families across voltage or capacity ranges
- Availability across regions
- Feature comparisons across product lines
- EasyCatalog builds these automatically by analysing your data relationships. No manual cell merging, no hunting for matching values — just a fully assembled matrix, ready to style and update.
And because matrix tables are linked to your datasource, they refresh just as easily as regular tables.
Update Tables Automatically When Data Changes
Once a table is linked to your datasource, it can update automatically as your information evolves — without the need to rebuild or manually edit anything.
- Prices change? Refresh.
- Rows added or deleted? Refresh.1
- Specification values corrected? Refresh.
Your tables remain perfectly aligned with your data, eliminating the typical manual errors that creep in during production.
Build Tables Your Way
Design your table structure exactly the way you want:
- Choose which fields become rows or columns
- Apply your InDesign table and cell styles
- Insert headings automatically
- Control alignment, formatting and number handling
- Include images, icons or swatches if needed
You’re not limited by pre-built formats — EasyCatalog adapts to your layout, not the other way around.

This feature is perfect for:
- Technical specification sheets
- Electronics and tools catalogues
