Note: The Add Defendant Details [Verdict] button, Defendant Details [Verdict] table, Add Plaintiff Details button, and Plaintiff Details table are all associated with an individual row of the Verdicts table, and only appear if the row is set to display subtables. Additionally, the Add Defendant Details [Plaintiff] button, Defendant Details [Plaintiff] table, Add Interest Details, and Interest Details table are all associated with an individual row of an individual Plaintiff Details table, and only appear if the row is set to display subtables. For that reason, whether these tables appear in your Verdicts page, and where in the Verdicts or Plaintiff Details table they appear, will depend on which row, if any, of the Verdicts and Plaintiff Details tables is set to display subtables. See Subtables and the Open/Closed Column.
