Example 3: Editing Fields in an Existing Output Record

DataManager lets you change any value within a field's definition. Follow these instructions to change field parameters.

Start by selecting the record you want to work on. Using the fast path, you can access these records by typing OO and pressing Enter. Press F11 to browse a list of existing output records. Output Descriptions List

Now move your cursor using the arrow keys and make the desired changes. Then press F5 to save those changes before leaving this screen. DataManager responds by displaying the message Output record has been updated.

Caution: You must save your entries using F5 before scrolling the panel. If you do not, the data you have entered will be cleared from the panel.

If you try to exit this panel without saving your changes, DataManager prompts you to determine how to handle those changes. A pop-up panel gives you the option of cancelling any changes you haven't already saved. Select 1 to save your changes. Then you can begin editing another record.
