When editing cells in Grid View, it is important to understand when changes to cell contents constitute a single editing operation and when the changes actually represent multiple, separate editing actions. The reason this is important is because the Undo operation is constrained to reversing a single editing action (previous editing actions cannot be reversed).
Object abbreviations, all description fields and all text attributes support internal carriage returns (this is not supported for the names or abbreviations on design elements other than objects). To insert a carriage return into a Grid View cell, use the <Alt>+<Enter> key combination.
How to Edit a Single Cell (Text or Numeric)
1
Click in the cell to be edited and type in the Test limit for that cell.
Alternative: Double-click in the cell and modify the existing cell contents.
2
Click in another cell (or somewhere outside the grid) to terminate the edit action.
How to Edit Multiple Cells (Text or Numeric) Using a Single Editing Action
1
Click in the first cell to be edited.
2
Type in the Test limit to be assigned to the selected cell.
3
Press the <Enter> key to move down or the <Tab> key to move right until you get to the next cell to be edited.
4
Repeat steps 2 & 3 until all modifications have been made for the current editing action.
5
Click in another cell (or somewhere outside the grid) to terminate the edit action.
Note: the Undo operation will reverse all cells changed in this edit action.
How to Edit Multiple Cells (Text or Numeric) Using Multiple Editing Actions
1
Click in the cell to be edited and type in the Test limit for that cell.
Alternative: Double-click in the cell and modify the existing cell contents.
2
Repeat step 1 until all modifications have been made using separate editing actions.
Note: the Undo operation will reverse only the most recent edit action.
How to Edit Drop-Box Cells
1
Click in the cell to be edited.
2
Click on the down arrow icon on the right side of the selected cell and then choose the desired setting from the list of Test limits that pops up.
3
If additional drop-box cells are to be edited, click in the next cell to be edited or press the <Enter> or <Tab> keys to move to the next cell to be edited. Enter the new Test limit.
Note: all consecutive changes to drop-box cells are considered part of a single edit actions, regardless of the approach used to select the cells.
