For the data selected in the main window the table editors
offer a direct access to the tables of the database. Underneath the menu
Grid select one of the
Table editors. A window with the content of the table will open. Columns with a
gray background can not be edited here. Columns with a light gray background are
linked to the contents of lookup tables where you can change according to the contents
of these tables. The following tables are included for direct access:
Depending on the edit mode the following options are available
in the
Table editors menue:
Sampling events to edit the sampling events of the descriptions
in the query result list
Descriptions to edit the descriptions in the query result list
Description resources to edit the resource entries for the descriptions
in the query result list
Resource variants to edit the resource variant entries for the
descriptions in the query result list
Translations to edit the translation entries for the descriptions
in the query result list
Descriptors to edit the descriptors in the query result list
Descriptor resources to edit the resource entries for the descriptors
in the query result list
Categorical states to edit the categorical states of the descriptors
in the query result list
Categorical state resources to edit the resource entries for the
categorical states of the descriptors in the query result list
Resource variants to edit the resource variant entries for the
descriptors and categorical states in the query result list
Translations to edit the translation entries for the descriptors
and categorical states in the query result list
Project to edit the projects in the query result list
Descriptor tree node resources to edit the resource entries for
the descriptor tree nodes of the projects in the query result list
Resource variants to edit the resource variant entries for the
descriptor tree nodes of the projects in the query result list
Translations to edit the translation entries for the projects in
the query result list
As an example see below the table editor window for projects.
If for parts of the query result no write access exists, the table editor will be opened in read-only mode. Especially for descriptors you should keep in mind that they may belong to more than one project. Therefore the table editors for descriptors, categorical states and their resources or resource variants may be opened for read-only, if you have not write permissions for all projects in the database.
You can either edit the contents of the table directly
or perform changes to any number of marked fields. To mark a whole column use the 
button.
Once you have selected the contents to change, select one of the modes of change
that appear in the upper left corner. The modes of change are:
Insert: Insert the given value at the beginning of the content 
Append: Append the given value at the end of the content 
Replace: Replace a string in the content with the given value 
Clear: Remove the content After selecting the change mode, enter the text in the field where necessary and click on the corresponding button to perform the changes.
If you want to delete a line in the database, select it
by clicking in the space before the line and press the
button. Take care that an undo of that action is not possible.
To filter the content of the table, click in the column that should be used for filtering. Then choose the mode of comparision:
If you want the filtering to be case sensitive, choose
the
a<>A option. After all parameters are set, click on the
button. To undo the filtering, click on the
button. This will reset the data to the last saved version. If you want your changes
to be saved, click the
button before you reset the filtering. If you close the window all changes so far
will be saved automatically. If you do not want to save your changes, click on the
button to close the window without saving.
To export the data as a tab separated text file, click
on the
button. The file will be automatically saved in the client-folder.
