Add Table Columns

Documentation home

This function is available form the Tables View by selecting add column(s). The following dialog is displayed:

Three ways are provided to add columns to a table:

• By copying existing form fields, or columns from another table
• By creating new columns
• By importing columns from the table’s resource.

These three methods can be used in combination.

To copy existing fields, click the Copy existing fields button. A dialog box appears that will contain existing fields and table columns. When a table column is selected, the original table prefix is removed.

To create a new column, click the Create new columns button.

To import columns from a resource, click the Import columns from resource button, then select the required resource fields from the pop-up dialog box. This will include the selected resource fields as columns and also create mappings between each table column and the resource field.

The Mapped to resource column is provided for information.
