Show/Hide Object Animation 

Selecting a 3D object at any frame other than zero and clicking Hide from Object Animation group, will add a key frame at that location and the object will be hidden there. Another key frame will be added at frame zero, with the object shown. Using these two functions hide/show animations can be created easily.

Round Table

Round Table Object animation rotates the selected object by default, 360 degrees around the global z axis. The animation starts at frame 0 and ends at the last specified frame. Selecting the green animation line of the object, in the Time Line, will display the animation parameters in the Properties Panel of the application interface, as shown in the image below. 

The user can select to change the Start/End frames, as well as the angle of rotation.
