Virtually any data structure, data type and layout can be defined in CORE-GS.
To provide this flexibility, the user interface changes based on the selected table:
The Table Navigators (Table Tree and more functionally Workflow Toolbar) work together with the Record Navigator to define the data shown in the Data Grid:
Additionally, report previews can be used to navigate tables and records:
•single mouse click - highlights the Workflow Toolbar table used in a report region
•double mouse click - changes the table / record associated to the clicked report component
Data changes can be manually saved at any time by clicking the Save button (CTRL+S) on the Quick Access Toolbar .
