Edit Data and Reference Tables

EQuIS Professional allows users to manually edit Data Tables and Reference Tables using several methods.

 

Note: You must have sufficient permission to be able to edit records in tables.  

You must have at least editor on the logged in facility or else the table will be read-only and the Save and Cascade Delete buttons will not be available.

If it is a restricted table, you must be an administrator.

The connection to the database must have the appropriate database level permissions for that table.

To add or remove an item to/from a group/folder whose members include Object Types with permissions (e.g, facilities or reports; see Permissions), the user must have Owner permission on both the group/folder and the item.

The Add... button for each table is named for its Data Table or Reference Table. The Add... button shown above is for DT_SAMPLE. By selecting the DT_SAMPLE Add... button, a new row is added to the bottom of the specified Table. This new row is denoted by 15103-asterisk in the first cell of the new row.

Required Columns

Lookup Columns

ALT+ENTER

Press ALT + ENTER within a table cell to create a new line when the following conditions are met.

The cell is not in a key column.

The cell is in a text-based column (not numeric, date, etc.).
