The DAC's Editable Lists


The top and bottom panes of the DAC window display records in a list format. Some of the columns in the list are editable, and others are read-only. The toolbar at the top of each pane allows you to perform various tasks associated with a selected record in the list. For a description of the toolbar commands, see and The DAC's Top Pane Toolbar.

A right-click menu is also accessible from the lists in both the top and bottom panes. For a description of these commands, see The DAC's Right-Click Menus.

The list format allows you to do the following:

  • Edit the data in place and save the record by either clicking another record in the list or clicking the Save button.
  • Reorder the columns.
  • Sort the data in the list by clicking on the column name.
  • Select predefined values from picklists.
  • For fields that refer to values from other entities, use the query functionality in pop-up dialog boxes.
  • Use Ctrl+C to copy an editable string to the clipboard (not available for read-only strings).
  • Ctrl+V to paste a string from the clipboard into a selected cell that supports a string data type.
