[RFE] record-based (additional to list-based) presentation of table/query data
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:42:22 UTC
I like OO database component because I can edit some records which I selected against some criterions or I can create new ones. But for this feature, I would rather see a record at a time. This avoids errors.
Hi, I don't know exactly what do you mean. Maybe do you mean a form where you can edit only on record at a time. So if it's what you are looking for, please see FILE / AUTOPILOT / FORM. With this wizard you can create a new form where you see one record at a time. Bye Marc
Yes, I have seen the form on OO 1.0.2 but we have to select the fields and the layout for each table/view/query we want to browse. If we don't want to specify it each time we open the database, we can save forms in files. But it is not practical because I don't want to manage files for forms. Moreover, the kind of form I want is always the same: I want all fields in my current table/view/query to be on the form. Maybe a small macro and a toggle button list/record could be usefull and would not cost so much. Think at what did Microsoft Access with list/record modes.
- changing to FEATURE, and OS=All - changing ownership to user experience team for evaluation - changing title from "2 presentations of data: list or record" to "[RFE] record-based (additional to list-based) presentation of tables/queries" Sophia, I like this idea :), and I think we will keep in it mind when we rework this (weird) "open the small data source browser within a document to view/edit your table data" approach ....
Set to "NEW"
change subcomponent to 'none'
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
