Data Tables
How to effectively use Data Tables.
Data Tables are the primary interface for editing data.
Presentation
- Table are Entity Types
- Rows are Entities
- Columns are Properties
- Data are Cells.
- A Relationship is a Cell under a Relationship Type Column.
General Usage
LeftClick a Column Heading to sort the Rows based on that Column.
RightClick a Column Heading to:
- Rename the Column
- Delete the Column
RightClick a Row to:
- Delete the Row
- Move the Row to another Table.
- The destination Table must have the same existing Columns.
- Currently, moving rows with existing relationships is not supported.
- This is mainly to move Rows in Placeholder tables.
LeftClick any Cell, then CTRL + E to create a new Row.
Marking Multiple Rows
You can mark multiple Rows to perform bulk operations such as removing and filling.
Hold LeftClick + Drag to mark multiple Rows.
LeftClick a Cell, then SHIFT + LeftClick another Cell to mark a range of Rows.
LeftClick a Cell, then CTRL + SHIFT + LeftClick another Cell to unmark a range of Rows.
LeftClick the Row Number Cell to mark/unmark a single Row.
Filling Multiple Cells
To speed up data entry, you can:
- 1.Mark multiple Rows (see above)
- 2.Select an unmarked Cell
- 3.Click "Fill" in the toolbar to update the marked Rows with the value of the selected Cell.
- 4.Unmark the Rows if you want to.
Note: The selected Cell cannot be among your marked Rows.
For Relationships, filling will add all of the Relationships from the selected Cell to the marked Rows. It won't remove any Relationships.
If a Relationship already exists, Fill will fail to avoid inconsistent updates. This will result in a partial fill as the Rows before the failure will be updated. Use the Rewind Changes feature to unfill those Rows if you want to.
Drag and Drop
Some cells such as Attachments (Images, Files) support drag-and-drop from your File Manager so you don't need to hunt down files your already have open.
