Edit Data

In order to edit data, you must first enable the editing mode in the CasaBrowser. (This is to prevent accidental changes.)


Data can then be edited by double-clicking in the desired cell. Once a new value has been entered, it is checked against the data type to make sure the formatting is correct. If an invalid value has been entered (for example, letters in a numerical field), an error message will be displayed and the data will revert to its previous value.



When editing array data, the array must be first opened by double-clicking the array so that it opens in a side-panel. Specific cells can then be edited by double-clicking and typing their new value.

Save Data

Any changes made are immediately saved in the table on disk. There is therefore no need to "save" any changes made.

Undo/Redo an Action

All edit actions are stored such that they can be undone and redone. The last performed action can be undone using the Edit - Undo (Ctrl+Z) command; the last undone action can be redone using the Edit - Redo (Ctrl+Y) command.

Insert Rows(s)

If the table allows it, you may insert rows with the Edit - Insert Row(s) command. The number of rows to insert is then entered at the prompt. These rows are inserted at the end of the table and may be edited as desired. If you are on the last page of the table, the loaded rows may refresh. Note that if your table does not allow for insertion of rows, this menu command will not be enabled.

Delete Row(s)

If the table allows it, you may delete rows with the Edit - Delete Row(s) command. You then enter a comma-separated list of rows or row ranges that you wish to delete at the prompt. If any of the deleted rows are on the page you are viewing, the loaded rows may refresh. Note that if your table does not allow for the deletion of rows, this menu command will not be enabled.
