In the Input application, you have access to some of the functions of Project Database Data Design, specifically, to add new tables or new fields to existing tables in your active project. This allows the user to quickly ‘tweak’ the database structure while doing data entry. Changes can then be recorded in the data template, all without leaving Input.
Adding a new Table in Input is done from the Tables menu. Selecting the Tables > New… option (or pressing Ctrl-N) will open the new Table Properties dialog:
- NewTable inInput.jpg (94.9 KiB) Viewed 215 times
These are the same Table Properties available in adding tables in Data Design.
Adding a new field to an existing table in Input is just as simple. From the Tables menu, when you select Add Field…, the Field Properties dialog opens:
- NewField inInput.jpg (93.48 KiB) Viewed 216 times
These are the same Field Properties available in adding fields to a table in Data Design.
