Tips & Tricks - Editing Data in a Table

This post demonstrates how data can be edited directly in a custom table. To do this, create a new application using the "Basic Application" template.

Use the data group's context menu ("New / Input Page") to create a new, blank input page.

Go to the "Entry" page and copy the text from the "Title" input field there.

Paste it into the newly created input page. Go back to the "Entry" page and follow the same procedure for the "Edit" and "Delete" buttons.

Your input page should now contain the input field and the two buttons.

Go to the "All Entries" page and remove all existing items there. Then create a new custom table. The table's Properties dialog box opens automatically when the table is created. The new input page has already been selected as the page for viewing the data. Enable the "Execute Jump" setting for new and existing records, and click "OK."

Double-click the application node to open the application properties, and then switch to the "Application Menu" tab. Add the "Entry" input page to the menu.

Click "OK" to confirm the dialog box, and then publish the application.

Open the application in your browser and enter some data on the "Entry" page. On the "All Entries" page, you can now edit, save, and delete this data directly without having to switch to the input page.

Save all records to the table

If you want to save all the data in the table at once, create a new button on the "All Entries" page with the "Save" action. Clicking this button in your browser will save all changes made to the data in the table.
