How to create tabular structure in DNG with individual row as artifacts
Hello,
I am creating a module with the requirement document given by customer, the document contains tables and i want to replicate the same structure in DNG but having each row a different artifacts.
I am using DNG 6.0.2.

Isn't that how a module works, a requirement per row (with some heading options as well)? So each table would be a different module.

As @bbekker says, this is how a module works. However, this is something I have given considerable thought to over the years, as a table format is very common for specifications in many industries.
I would guess that the real issue is not replicating the structure, the issue is importing a table in such a format. In DOORS, tables in Word would import as DOORS tables, and then there were a number of utility functions (DXL scripts) that would take each table and map each row to a single artifact (object) and each column to a specified attribute. We do not have that capability in DNG. Although not particularly difficult for tables that are entirely consistent, the fact that Word allows cells to be merged makes solving the general problem pretty tricky. The RTC Work Item is here.
