Saving a table

Saving a table in TableBuilder makes it possible to re-open that table in TableBuilder at a later time. To export your table in Excel 2003, Excel 2007, CSV or CSV string format you must
download the table (refer 2.8).

Follow these steps to save the table you are working on for use during later sessions.

(i) Click on the
Image: Floppy disc icon button (in the tool bar above the table).


(ii) A box will appear, type in the name of your table and click on the Save Table button.

Note: When saving your table, your table name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and be no more than 255 characters in length.

Your saved table will appear in the 'My Tables' view.

Clear the table

Follow these steps if you would like to remove all the variables from your table. You will still have access to the data items in the customise table pane to allow you to add them in again.

(i) Click the
Image: Remove variables ‘x’ button (in the tool bar above the table).

A message will be displayed to advise that any previous unsaved table content will be lost.

All the same variables are available to add back into the table by clicking the 'Customise Table' link. If you would like to start again with a different database, click the 'Change Database' link.

Note: After clicking the ‘Change Database’ link you cannot go back to the table that you came from and any unsaved changes in the current database will be lost.

Print

To print a table, you must first download it into Excel 2003 or 2007 (.xls) format or Comma Separated Value (.csv or csv string) format. Once downloaded to another location on your computer you can open and print it.
