Converting Conditional Tables
Conditional tables are an element that were introduced with the FX2 format. Previously, Apttus tables (Generated using insert mergefields in Pre-FX2) could only have one filter (condition) applied to them. As a workaround, you may have created a Word generated table inside of a repeating section so that multiple filters could be applied to the table. In FX2, Apttus generated tables can handle multiple filters. Apttus tables are easier to maintain and it is considered a best practice to use them over Word generated tables nested inside of a repeating section, where possible.
To understand how to interpret complex clause conditionality from Pre-FX2, please refer to Using Conditional Clauses and Text.

In FX2 format, you can define one or more conditions for each column in a table. Choose the column from the drop-down list of fields to make conditionally shown and create an expression to show the column when the expression resolves to true.
