Context Menu

The Data Table Editor provides two different context menus:

  • Cell context menu for manipulating table data
  • Header context menu for controlling row/column visibility and grouping

Cell Context Menu

The context menu of Data Table Editor cells contains the following operations:

Copy

Copy the value of a cell.

Paste

Paste a value from the clipboard into a cell. If the value in the clipboard has another format than the cell value, Iotellect Client will attempt to convert it. If the value cannot be converted, it will not be pasted.

Copy Records

Copy selected rows to the clipboard.

Paste Records

Paste previously copied records after the selected row.

Remove Value

Resets cell value to NULL (<Not set>). This operation is only applicable if current field is nullable, i.e. supports NULL values.

Undo Cell Changes

Reset the cell value to the one it contained when the Data Table Editor was opened. If the cell didn't exist when the editor was opened (i.e. the cell belongs to a newly created row) this operation will reset its value to default (see below).

Reset Cell To Default

Reset the cell value to the default for this column (usually defined on the server, as part of the table format description).

Fill Column With Cell Value

Copy value from the selected cell to all other cells of current column.

Duplicate Record

Creates a copy of current record.

Reset Table

Resets all changes made to the table since it was opened.

View Table Format

Shows format of current table.

When the Data Table Editor is being used to modify the value of a context variable (as opposed to raw data coming from another source), the context menu within the editor contains additional actions related to this variable.

Header Context Menu

The context menu of Data Table Editor header provides access to the following features:

Auto Resize This Column

Auto-adjust size of clicked column to fit all data.
