Viewing and modifying items

Items are displayed in a table in the main pane. One row represents one item. Right-clicking on an item opens a sub-menu with further options. Items can be deleted, updated with an online database, or opened. Items can also be directly modified within the table.

To view all items in a module, select that module and then perform a Find where all the search conditions are blank. The result will return all items stored under that module



Viewing and changing existing items

To view an item already stored in the database, open the module that contains that item and perform a search using the Find function. An item can be opened by either double-clicking on the item or using the right-click menu. An item is opened in the item form



The item form

The item form shows a single item in the database. The form allows you to create, update, or delete an item. To modify an item, select the values and update them. Note that double-clicking on a large text field opens the text in a larger window

Changes to an item can be saved by pressing the "Save" button. Pressing the "Close" button discards any changes (without warning!) and closes the form. To delete an item, press the "Delete" button.

The item form consists of one or more tabs-each image belonging to an item is shown in a separate tab. Pictures (such as screenshots) and Children (such as, for example, with audio CDs) are also shown in a separate tab. Images can be deleted or replaced by double-clicking on the current image. A window appears where you can select a new image or delete the current image.

Items can also be updated with data from an online database more about this



Updating data directly in the table

Instead of opening an item in the item form, you can change, delete, or update data directly in the table. To edit a cell in the row, place the cursor in the cell and press F2. You can cycle through the rows using the arrow keys. Changes are saved by using the right-click menu or by pressing the "Save changes" button
