How-to Guide

1. Create a Table View

Entry: Data table → + icon on the right → Table View

1. Open the multidimensional table.
2. Click the + icon on the right side of the data table.
3. Select Table View.
4. Enter the table editing screen and add the data you need.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: A new table view appears for the current data table and shows a row-and-column layout.
• Next action available: You can enter or edit data directly in the table area.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Selecting another view type opens a different display mode instead of Table View.
• Environment note: You need access permission for the current multidimensional table.

2. Show Hidden Fields

Entry: Table View → Field management

1. Open the Fields management area in Table View.
2. Check whether the target field is hidden.
3. Click the eye icon or the related display control to show the field again.
4. Return to the table area and confirm that the field is visible in the current view.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The previously hidden field appears again as a table column.
• Next action available: You can continue reviewing, entering, or checking data in that field.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: A missing field does not always mean it was deleted; it may only be hidden in the current view.
• Environment note: Some field settings may be unavailable without the required editing permissions.

3. Freeze Columns and Check Synced Data Across Views

Entry: Table View → right-click target column → Freeze to This Column

1. In Table View, locate the column you want to keep visible.
2. Right-click the target column.
3. Select Freeze to This Column.
4. Scroll horizontally and confirm that the target column and the columns to its left remain visible.
5. Edit one record in the current view, then switch to another view to confirm that the data update is synced.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The target column and the columns to its left stay visible during horizontal scrolling.
• Next action available: The updated record can also be checked in another view.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Freezing columns changes the viewing experience only and does not change the original data.
• Environment note: Cross-view syncing depends on the shared data in the same table.
