Managing Data
The
Data Manager screen allows viewing and editing of all Project Clock
data. To bring up this screen click the Data Manager link on the
top of the screen. The following screen should pop up:
The
default Data Manager screen is used to access all the database tables
used in Project Clock. Currently the detail tab above cannot be used to
edit tables just view them. Table data can be edited in the other tabs
and from the Tools menu on the main time billing screen.
Editing Table Data
Many of the database tables used in Project Clock show up at the top. You can
click a table to see the data entry form for that table. For example,
here we clicked on the Estimates table link:
The Data navigator Bar
The
bar of icons above the table list is the data navigator. The data
navigator is for navigating the records of the current table. The first
button |< will move to the first record of the current table. The
second button < will move to the previous record. The third button
> will move to the next record. The fifth button >| will move to
the last record. The button with the upward pointing triangle will put
the current record in edit mode so you can make changes. The + button
will add a new record. The - button will
delete the current record. The button with the floppy disk will save
changes made to the current record. The X button will cancel any
changes made to the current record. The last button refreshes the
current table to show the latest changes made to it.
To add a
new record press the + button on the data navigator bar. A blank record
field will appear. Enter data in the fields and press the check mark on
the data navigator bar. This saves the record changes.
