The Tapping Table creation form behaves in exactly the same manner as the Branch Table form. To avoid repetition this section only lists the differences between the two.
A Tapping Table must be created below a Table World (TABWLD) element.

Select Create, then Spec Table, then Tapping Table from the main window drop-down.
