In AppGini, add your explanation text to the "Description" box of the concerned table.

Thanks i have sorted it on the pade inccommon.php on the function:
function getTableList($skip_authentication = false){
$arrAccessTables = array();
$arrTables = array(
'crimereport' => array('Incident Reports', 'All Reported Incidents are found here, coming from the Mobile App, Calls and Radio channels', 'table.gif')
}

I have added the description on the second parameter and called it by saying <div class=""><?php echo $tc[1]; ?></div> and it worked!!!

Solved!!!!!!

In which file do I see the description text I add to the table or is it stored in the database?

You find the generated "Description" text in templates/tablename_templateDV.html

Find the field concerned and you'll see a <div class="alert alert-info"> - see example below. The description text is within the <div> and you can edit and replace it directly if desired.

<span class="help-block collapse" id="fieldname-description"><div class="alert alert-info">This is the Description text you entered in your AppGini project for this particular field</div></span>

I just re-read your post and now see that you actually asked where is "the description text I add to the table". Sorry, the info above was for the field description text.

You'll find the table description text in incCommon.php Search for the following code:

function getTableList(){
$arrTables=array(
'yourtablename'=>array('Table Title', 'This is your description.', 'resources/table_icons/table-icon.png')

Hope that helps.

EDIT: that code above is Appgini V5.30. I see in V5.31 it is now:
function getTableList($skip_authentication = false){
$arrAccessTables = array();
$arrTables = array(
'yourtablename'=>array('Table Title', 'This is your description.', 'resources/table_icons/table-icon.png')

as per omphilesithole's post above.
