In most windows and standard tables in ACE Admin you can choose how you want to work. What you can do by clicking on a button or achieved with a function key is often also found in context menus.
- The menus are opened with a right-click and via the context menu key
on your keyboard. - The content of the menus vary depending on if you click on the table header or elsewhere.
- The menus contain options such as Add, Delete, Edit depending on what is applicable for the current part of a table.
- In some tables you find the Gridlines option. If selected, you see the table’s rows and columns in a grid. If left unselected, every other line has a deviant background colour.
To add something in a standard table you have the option to choose between
- pressing the Insert key,
- double-clicking in the first empty row of the table, from the top,
- right clicking on the cell to open the context menu for standard tables and then selecting Add,
- if there is a pull-tab at the bottom, opening it and clicking on the
button.
To change something in a standard table you have the option to choose between
- pressing the F2 function key when the row is in focus,
- double clicking on an editable cell,
- right clicking on the cell to open the context menu for standard tables and then selecting Change,
- if there is a pull-tab at the bottom, opening it and clicking on the
button.
Then, when you add something or change the existing values you can do that in
- text fields – boxes where you enter a short text,
- drop-down lists – where you select from fixed values,
- thumb wheels – a control for numerical values where you scroll to a figure,
You can also hold down the shift key when the value is increased step by step, thereby increasing the stride by 10. - check boxes – ticked by a single click
or by pressing the Spacebar.
