For each table template page, next to the “Table Setup” tab is the “Function Details” tab.

The cardinal team is actively maintaining and adding new table functions to the package. If you would like an FDA safety table that is not listed on the cardinal website, please file a New Table Template issue on GitHub here with the table number and the team will work on adding it to the package.
