When to use it

• Use it when gathering information, to help prompt for a complete set of data.
• Use it when information is disorganized, to help collate and understand it.
• Use it for summarizing information to make it easier to present and understand.
• Use specific table tools as frameworks for particular tasks, either to organize existing information or to prompt for specific categories of information.
