About the Data Table editor |
Use the Data Table editor to interactively enter and update
instances of simple data classes that contain either Single
Value
or Value List
properties. Ordinarily, you use the Data Table editor to work with the instances of those data classes that were created by the Data Table
wizard. These types of data classes are also called data tables.
To use the Data Table editor to enter or update data instances for an existing eligible data table:
See Editing instances of a single Data Table for more information on using the Data Table editor.
1. If the or links do not appear, you lack appropriate access for these functions for that class. Review and update as needed the Modify Instances setting for the Access of Rule to Object rule that controls access to the class you need to edit.
2. Use of the Data Table editor requires that the workstation have the
Excel Data Import Manager ActiveX control. The Excel file
prExcelManagerTemplate.xls
supports editing. SR-1962
B-18547 was limited to 255 chars all cols
3. When editing a data table, a history instance is created for each save operation. For example, if the class is named Data-ItemNums, the class History-Data-ItemNums has an instance containing the date, time, key, and Operator ID for each update. No standard facilities access these history instances, but you can view them with the Class Explorer and report on them with list view rules or summary view rules.
4. The option of editing in Excel is limited to data tables with no more than 32,767 rows. This is an Excel limitation. SR-18440 BUG-15391
5. If the data table has a Value List property, the values of the data table column that corresponds to that property cannot be edited in Excel. Update the values of a Value List property directly in the Data Table editor's form. OSMAE
