Creating a table definition

Before you create table entries, you must define a table.

1.  From the Lists menu, choose User-defined tables > Table definitions.

2.  Click the Create symbol.

The Create table definition window opens.

3.  Make the desired changes:

Attribute

Description

Name

Unique name of the table

Group

The group is used to combine table definitions that belong together as regards content. Assign a group name if necessary.

Comment

Description of the table (optional)

Number of columns/rows

Enter the desired number of columns and rows.

Note

The columns correspond to user-defined attributes, which are called, for example, Attribute 1 - Attribute 5 for 5 columns. You can rename and edit these attributes using the Edit attribute definition shortcut menu item.

4.  Confirm with OK.

The list for table entries is created with the specified number of columns and rows and opened directly. You can now enter values in the table (Creating table entries).
