Creating a new table

There are two options to start a new table:

(i) New table in the same database

If you have been working in TableBuilder and want to start again with a new table you can click the Image: ‘x’ button button and all data items will be removed from the table.

You will receive the following message to confirm if you wish to continue with this action:

(ii) New table in a different database
If you would like to start a new table in a different database, either click the Image: Change Database link link or ‘Select Topic’ on the top right hand of the screen.

Image: Select Topic link

Note: All data in your current table will be lost if you have not saved the table before you click on the ‘Change Database’ or ‘Select Topic’ link.

Selecting ‘Logout [username]’ will take you back to the log in screen and all data in your current table will be lost if you have not saved the table.

Opening an existing table

On the 'Table View' tab click the Image: My Tables link. You will be taken to the 'My Tables' screen where you can select from a list of previously saved tables and click Image: Open Table button.

Your selected custom table will appear in the
'Table View' with the 'Customise Table' pane open ready for use.

Note: After opening a new table you cannot go back to the table that you came from and any unsaved changes will be lost.
