Toolbar and Context Menu

The "Field Explorer"'s toolbar provides buttons with tool tips and hot-key combinations. You can right-click any item in the tree view to bring up a context menu.
The toolbar offers these functions:
  • New
    Use this option to create a formula field, summary field, parameter field or running total field.
  • Show Data Types
    Use this option to display the data types of the database fields, formula fields, parameter fields, and running total fields shown in the "Field Explorer".
  • Sort Fields
    Use this option to display the fields in alphabetical order. The fields will either be displayed in the order they appear in the table, or in ascending alphabetical order.
In addition to the functions available on the toolbar, the context menu offers a list of functions that varies depending on the object you are working with. For example, a database field has the following functions available:
  • Undo Add Table

  • Redo

  • Insert
