Cars' Table of Attributes

When you open the Cars' Form, appears by default a tabular information containing the data of all the registered cars to the system. This is the table of attributes that consist of 5 columns, one for each information field, and as many rows as are the registered cars. Each column can store a specific type of data such as a number, date, or piece of text. All table rows have the same columns.

You can scroll down the table list to view the registered cars or you can search them using specific criteria.

Search based on Criteria

The search can be performed using one or more filters, based on the table's available data fields.

You can apply a filter to each column by typing a "value" in the empty search box up to column's names.

While you are typing on a search box of a column, a list with relative stored values appears to help you

make a quick selection.

When you complete with the typing, the table automatically displays the records that matching your

criteria.

You can apply more than one filter in the same time by adding values to the search boxes of the rest columns.

To clear the Search boxes, click on the erase icon

, at the right end of search line. Clearing the

search boxes, the table stores again all the registered records.

Data Sorting

The table's records are by default sorted by numerical order based on the "CAR" field values (system default). If you want to make a shorting based on an other field's data, you have just to click once on the column's name you desire. The sorting is automatically changed and an arrow

appears on the selected field, marking it active. The selected field is colored blue to indicate the specific shorting case.

The direction of arrow indicates whether the sorting is in ascending

or descending order

. By clicking on the selected field header for second time, the sorting changes from ascending to descending.

Data Editing

Over time, you'll need to edit the information in your database to keep it accurate and up to date. To edit the stored data of a car, you have to open the car's information tab by double clicking on the specific car's record. The form opens on the same window, in place of table tab.
