Redisplaying Hidden Columns

Scroll Prev Top Next More

If you later decide you want to see the data in a hidden column, you can redisplay the column.

 

To redisplay the CustomerAreaCode and CustomerPhone columns:

 

1.In the "Data Browser" window, choose Layout: Show Column...

 

The "Show Column" dialog box displays the hidden columns in the Customer table.

 

2.Select "CustomerAreaCode" and "CustomerPhone" while holding down the [Ctrl] key.
3.Click the OK button.

 

The columns reappear in their previous order.

 

Use the same procedure to redisplay the CustomerID column.

 

Note: Changes made to the data display using the options on the Layout menu are not automatically saved. The default setting for "Layout" is off. To save changes, choose Settings: Configuration Settings: Operating Condition and set "LAYOUT" to on. This setting switches saving layouts on or off. When LAYOUT is set on, R:BASE saves the layout of data displayed in the Data Browser when you exit. The next time you display the table with the Data Browser, the layout of data will be as you previously arranged it. When LAYOUT is set off, R:BASE does not save the layout of data and ignores any saved layouts. If you want to see a table displayed in its default format without changing the saved layout for it, set LAYOUT off before displaying the table.
