Reordering Tables & Fields

 

By default, interval tables show up in the order they are created.  Especially in large multi-discipline, multi-user projects with many different kinds of data, it is often useful for a user to reorder and filter the interval tables to only show relevant data.

To reorder the Interval tables:
  1. Click the Order...button on the Interval tab on the Main Module. This brings up the Filter Interval Data table Names dialog. 
  2. Use the arrow controls to bring selected tables from the list on the left to the Filtered Interval table List on the right.  
  3.  Use the up and down arrows to change the order of the shown tables.

Reordering and Hiding Fields

By default, interval fields show up in the order they are created.  

To reorder the Interval fields:

Select the desired table and select the Columns...button on the Interval tab on the Main Module.  This brings up the Interval Data Column Display Properties window.  This screen shows the list of the tables available fields on the left, the displayed fields on the upper right, and the selected field's properties are shown in the lower right.  This window changes the order of the displayed fields, hide and show specific fields, and changes field properties.

Reorder the specific fields

To reorder a field, select the column at the top of the screen and drag it to the desired position.  In the example below, the TOP column has been dragged to be before the QUALITYcolumn.

 

Hide and show specific fields

  • To drop a specific field, select the column at the top of the screen and select the — button.  
  • To add a specific field, select the field name from the list on the left side of the window and select the + button.

Change the field properties

The Column Properties on the lower right shows name, justification, shown decimals, the label style (Name or Name and Units), and the data property (Value or Quality).  Changing these settings changes how the selected field will be shown.
