Data Viewer and Editor

The Data Viewer and Editor provides tools for examining and modifying data objects within the Workmaster platform. It displays records in a tabular format and offers options for controlling which fields are visible, as well as for adding, editing, and deleting records.

1. Table View

Data objects are presented in a table consisting of records and fields:

  • Rows represent individual records.

  • Columns represent fields of the data object.

This structure allows users to view and interact with the dataset in a structured format.

2. Select Columns

The Select Columns feature allows users to filter the displayed fields. By choosing specific columns, users can limit the view to only those fields that are relevant to their task. This does not alter the underlying data object; it affects only the view.

3. Data Editing Options

Users can modify the dataset directly in the table through the following actions:

  • Add Row At the left side of the table header row, a menu (represented by three horizontal bars) provides the option to add a new row. Once added, users can enter values into the fields of the new record.

  • Edit Row To modify an existing record, select the row to be edited. Each row has a menu (also represented by three horizontal bars) that enables editing. Users can update one or more fields as needed.

  • Delete Row Rows can be removed using the same row-level menu (three horizontal bars). Deletion removes the selected record from the dataset.

Editing Relationships (references to other data objects)

Relationships can be edited from the Data Object maintaining the 'singular' side of the relationship.

To add a reference, edit the row you need to add the reference in, click the 'Edit' pencil symbol in the column with the name <RelationshipField>_id and select the other object to add:

Source Data Object (StockTranasction) :

A popup with the appropriate items will show. Select the item you want to reference, by clicking on the (+) symbol :

The unique id (a long number) of the reference will appear in the column that maintains the reference.

To remove a reference, use the (-) button after opening the same popup.
