Hi!  
I have added a tab container to my project, I wan't to add a existing table to it but I can only add new components to it. How do I add an existing component?

Should be able to add a container for the tab and then cut/paste the table into that new container. I've been out of perspective for a while, but I don't think it lets you put a component directly in a tab....not 100% sure there though
