Browse

The browse view enables you to view the database on a table (data set) by table basis.
Records in each table are classified in a hierarchical scheme (also referred to as a 'tree').

The current table being viewed can be changed by clicking the '+' icon next to the table you wish to view. This opens the selected table, showing you the records in the table.

To navigate the database using the browse view :
  1. Click 'browse' on the toolbar.
  2. Expand a table (by clicking on the '+' icon on the tree next to the table name).
  3. Expand the levels of the tree (by clicking on the '+' or '-' icons on the tree).
  4. Underlined record names indicate records which contain data.
  5. Click on a record name to display its datasheet in the main area.
