Mass Column Editor

Topic updated 7-6-2007

The Mass Column Editor works like a spreadsheet for editing descriptions, labels and headers of all columns in a Datastore. To open the Mass Column Editor, right-click the Datastore node in the Project Explorer, and choose Mass Column Editor from its context menu.

 

Using the Mass Column Editor

The white cells are editable, use the mouse or arrow keys to go to cells you want to edit.

The Mass Column Editor's column headers can be clicked to sort by columns.

Changes made in the Mass Column Editor are not saved immediately. To either save or cancel your changes, close the Mass Column Editor and click Yes or No in the confirmation dialog.

Two buttons at the top allow you to set all labels and headers at once:

CamelCase Labels/Headers from database name: makes all words in headers and labels lowercase starting with a capital.
Set header/label according to options: applies the Import Schema Options as configured in the GenWise IDE Options (accessible via Tools - Options). This button (re-)applies the Automatic generation of labels and column headers as can be configured for Import Schema.
