Selecting Fields

After selecting a table, you select the columns that compose the query fields. Your query can retrieve all the columns associated with the table or specific columns. Select fields on the Query Builder - Fields page.

*  To select the columns that will make up the query fields:

  1. Select the desired columns.

    • Drag a column from Tables and Columns to Query Fields.

    • Select a column and click Right Arrow button.

    • Double-click a column.

      To select all of the columns in a table, select the table using one of the methods described above. To remove a column from Query Fields, click the column and click the left arrow. (To select more than one column to delete, hold down the [Ctrl] key and click the desired columns.)

  2. Use Up Arrow/Down Arrow buttons to define the column order in the default report layout.

    The default layout initially appears when you format a report in the Layout window. The order in which the database columns appear on the Query Builder - Fields page is the order in which the columns will appear in the default report layout. You can change the column order when formatting a report in the layout if desired.
