How can we hide or show Input table tabs?

Often it is better to hide a table than to delete it.  

1. Go to INPUT. Notice the set of table tabs.

2. Select Tables -> List or click the List  icon. The PROJECT DATA TABLES window appears.

   

3. Add and remove some checkmarks in the Hide column. Click OK.

4. Notice your changes reflected in the tab bar.

How can we hide or show a field?

Often it is better to hide a field rather than delete it.

1. Go to INPUT.  Select the tab with the field you wish to hide.

2. Select Tables -> Show or Hide Fields. The SHOW OR HIDE FIELDS window appears.

   

3. Add and/or remove some checkmarks in the Hide column. Click OK. Notice your changes reflected in the grid.

How do we change the order of the table tabs in Input?

This command allows you to rearrange the display order of the table tabs in INPUT.

Do the following:

1. Select Tables -> Input Sequence. The Database Table Display Order window appears.

   

2. Highlight one of the tables, then click the Up Arrow  or Down Arrow  to change its position.

3. Click OK. Notice the change in the order of table tabs.

We have a lot of tabs. Can we organize them into groups?

Table groups provide the means to organize tables into groupings within table group tabs, which reside in a tab bar (along with module tabs such as Site Map or Surfaces) just beneath the application group tab bar. The default table group tab, Main, by default includes all tables, and does not appear unless other module tabs or table group tabs are visible.

You can create custom group tabs and assign tables to them in the table properties in DATA DESIGN. You can subsequently rearrange the order of group tabs using the Group Sequence option in the Tables menu.

Note: To perform this exercise requires the use of Training.GPJ project in this set of files: communities.bentley.com/.../269455.aspx

To demonstrate this, do the following:

1. Go to DATA DESIGN -> Project Database and open the Training.GPJ project.

2. Select LITHOLOGY in the object selector, then click the Properties icon.

3. In New Group, enter ‘Lithology’. Click OK. This creates a new table group tab called ‘Lithology’ and places the LITHOLOGY table inside it in INPUT.

4. Click OK to close the table properties for LITHOLOGY.

5. Select LITHOLOGY SOIL in the object selector, click the Properties  icon.

6. In response to the ‘Assign All Child Tables (LITHOLOGY SOIL, LITHOLOGY ROCK) to group Lithology?’ prompt, click Yes.

7. Click the Properties  icon. Notice that the Group Name for LITHOLOGY SOIL is ‘Lithology’. Click OK.

8. Go to INPUT. Notice that five tables are under the Main Group tab.

9. Click the Lithology tab. Notice that three tables are under this tab.

10. Select Tables -> Group Sequence.

    

11. Highlight ‘Site Map’ and click the Down Arrow  to move it beneath ‘Lithology’. Click OK.

12. Notice that the Lithology tab is now prior to the Site Map tab in the tab bar.

Note: The PROJECT and POINT tables do not have a Group Name property. They can only be in the Main group.
