Table Editors

For the data selected in the main window the table editors offer a direct access to the tables of the database as shown in the image below. In the hierarchy tree of the main window every entry corresponds to a table in the database, marked for the image below for the tables CollectionEvent and IdentificationUnit. Underneath the menu Grid select one of the Table editors (see below). For an introduction see a short tutorial .

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. If you are using the optimzed query certain columns that are linked to lookup tables show the translated content instead of the IDs. With the [ ID ] button you can change back to the original, not translated content of the table. The tables below are examples for those that are included for direct access via a table editor:

• Collection events
• Collection event localisations
• Collection event site properties
• Specimens
• Collectors
• Specimen images
• Organisms
• Identifications of the organisms
• Analysis of the organisms
• Specimen parts
• Processings of the specimen parts
• Transactions of the specimen

Select Set timeout ... from the menu to increase the default timeout from 5 seconds to a higher value, e.g. for greater amounts of data.  

With the button you can set the widths of the columns according to the header and the content. With the button the width is set to the content. After the column width is set, this will be indicated with a yellow background . Click again on the button to release the setting of the column width .
