Working with Data in Grid Views: Basic Skills
Facilities information can be represented spatially in CAD drawings as well as alphanumerically as records in a project database. This section explores how Archibus works with alphanumeric information stored in a database, and how Archibus presents database information using grid views. It also covers the skills required for editing tables in the project database: editing several types of database fields, and creating and deleting records.
The section covers the basics of working with database tables presented in grid windows.
