| List
|
Lists the field names of defined data fields. To
edit or to delete one of the fields, click on it to select.
|
| Fieldname
|
Used to enter the field name of the new database
field. Field names always consist of capital letters (lower case letters are
automatically transformed) and pre-existing entries are ignored. It is useful
to enter reasonable field names as these are displayed in the selection dialogs
for sorting and search. For each field a description may be added as auxiliary
text for the other dialogs.
|
| Dialog Text
|
Used to specify the labeling of the input field for
field data in the input dialog for cell data.
|
| Description
|
Used to specify a descriptive auxiliary text for the
database field, which is displayed in the other dialogs at selection of this
field.
|
| Display if Selected
|
When on, the data in the database field is displayed
in the Selection dialog after selecting a cell. This helps to limit the display
to essential fields in case there is a large number of data fields.
|
| Text field
|
When on, data is evaluated as text. Sorting is
alphabetic so the entry
11 is sorted ahead of the entry
2 for instance.
|
| Integer
|
When on, data are evaluated as integers. For
instance, the entry
B2 is sorted ahead of the entry
A11 because the numerical part has priority.
|
| Floating
|
When on, data are evaluated as floating points. If
the Imperial unit system is used, the units inch and foot are displayed
correctly.
|
| Floating fix
|
When on, data are evaluated as a floating point fix.
If the imperial unit system is used, the units are not displayed as inches and
feet (for instance, for angles).
|
 OK
|
Closes the dialog and save your changes.
|
 Cancel
|
Closes the dialog without saving changes.
|
|
Adds the current database field to the database or
selects the current database field for modification.
Note: It is not possible to modify a field name. If
you select an existing field and you modify the field name, the application
assumes that a new field is to be created.
|
|
Removes the current database field from the
database.
Attention: Also deletes all existing cell
data referring to the database field.
