Table editors

For the data selected in the main window the table editors offer a direct access to the tables of the database. The menu Grid -> Table editors provide an editor for Reference ... and Author ...

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.

Editing

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.

Filtering

To filter the content of the table, click in the column that should be used for filtering. Then choose the mode of comparision:

• = : The content must be exactly like the given value
• ~ : The content must contain the given value
• ≠ : The content must be different to the given value

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. So if you do not want to save your changes, click on the button before closing the window.

Export

To export the data as a tab separated text file, click on the button. The file will be automatically saved in the client-folder.  

Log data

To see the log data of the table, you can click on the button. The content of the log table can not be changed, but is read only.
