Modifying Table Descriptors

Table Descriptors belong to the Program definition, but Table Descriptor mappings belong to the Program instance.

You must check out the definition to add, remove, or update Table Descriptors, but not to map, unmap, or remap Table Descriptors.

If you need to change a Table Descriptor's columns, you must update the Table Descriptor's definition source either to a different Table definition that meets your needs, or to a new version of the same Table definition, after modifying the Table definition. If you do not have the necessary privileges to modify the source Table definition, you can probably copy the original Table definition, paste it into the current Application Area, modify it as necessary, and use it as the new definition source.

In the Program instance you can map the Table Descriptor to a different Table instance. See Mapping Table Descriptors to Table Instances for further information.
