Edit Table

  1. To open the table properties:
    1. Click on the Table header
    2. Or From the more menu select Edit.
  2. See Table for the options available to edit.

Edit Attributes

  1. Double-click on an attribute to open its properties.
    1. This works by directly double clicking an attribute visible on an ERD or from within the table properties Attributes section.
    2. Common Tasks:
      1. Changing the attribute name, can be achieved by simply updating and saving the Name value.
      2. Changing the data type, can be necessary if there is a change in the data or simply because the wrong type was initially applied. See Understanding Data Types, for more information. Note however that it is not possible to change the data type of an attribute if the table contains data, see Clearing and Loading Data in an ERD for details on clearing data to facilitate a data type change.
      3. Adding an expression. Expressions can be added to the attributes to add processing to it or populate a value. For example, to uppercase the values in the attribute or setting a fixed string value. See Functions for all available options.
