Tables are the primary way to view data in Toric. All data that is imported through a source or available after manipulation can be viewed in table form via the Data Inspector (Data) tab.
Fields are columns within the tables available in Toric. Each field has a Data Type, which is inferred, but can also be updated. Fields can be used to generate new columns through calculations and data manipulations.
Fields within Toric tables can have one of several data types. The initial data type is determined by inference when loading in the original data source, but it can be altered using the Edit Column node.
