Managing data

This section describes the available tools to manage data, i.e., adding, updating or removing data at the same time.

Managing object groups

To modify object groups, expand the corresponding item in Object tree to display the members item, right-click on the latter and select Manage members from the context menu. The Manage parameter tags dialog will pop up:

To add new member objects, select them under Non members, and press the button in the middle that has a plus sign. To remove current member objects, select them under Members, and press the button in the middle that has a minus sign. Multiple selection works in both lists.

When you’re happy, press Ok.

Note

Changes made using the Manage members dialog are not applied to the database until you press Ok.

Managing relationships

Select Edit -> Manage relationships from the menu bar. The Manage relationships dialog will pop up:

To get started, select a relationship class and a database from the combo boxes at the top.

To add relationships, select the member objects for each class under Available objects and press the Add relationships button at the middle of the form. The relationships will appear at the top of the table under Existing relationships.

To add multiple relationships at the same time, select multiple objects for one or more of the classes.

Tip

To extend the selection of objects for a class, press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking on more items.

Note

The set of relationships to add is determined by applying the product operation over the objects selected for each class.

To remove relationships, select the appropriate rows under Existing relationships and press the Remove relationships button on the right.

When you’re happy with your changes, press Ok.

Note

Changes made using the Manage relationships dialog are not applied to the database until you press Ok.
