===Entering Data Into Tables===‎

Edit

You have designed the two tables '''''Persons''''' and '''''Phones'''''. None of them contain any data yet. You can enter some, and in this chapter you will learn how to do this fast and effectively.‎

Edit

Start with the '''''Persons''''' table. Open it in Data View using <menuchoice>Open</menuchoice> in the '''Project Navigator's''' context menu or the toolbar button. The current cell is marked with (usually black) thicker border, a cell cursor. The contents of the cell, if present, are highlighted with a different color. The current row, i.e. the one you have placed your rectangular cursor in, is marked on the left hand with an arrow symbol.‎

Edit

You can navigate through table cells using the arrow keys, <keycap>Page Down</keycap>, <keycap>Page Down</keycap>, <keycap>Home</keycap>, <keycap>End</keycap> keys; you can also click with the mouse in a cell to select it.‎

Edit

Initially, after opening the table '''''Persons''''', the cursor is placed in the '''''Id''''' column. The column has autonumber property defined, marked with blue (autonumber) text in the last row. It means you do not have to enter values there by hand when entering data for a new row because the cell will be filled automatically with successive numbers.‎

Edit

Inserting new rows and entering data for them in '''Kexi''' is different from the way of doing this in spreadsheets. To enter data for a new row, you need to use the arrow keys or mouse, to move your cursor to the special empty last row marked with a plus sign. Place your cursor in the (second) '''''name''''' column and enter a person's name. Also enter surname, street, house number and city. When done, move the cell cursor to the last empty row either by using the <keycap>Down</keycap> key or by clicking in the last row with the mouse to append a new row.‎

====Details About Actions Available While Entering Data Into Tables====‎

Edit

* As soon as you enter the first character, the current row is being edited. A pencil symbol appears on the left side of the data table.‎

Edit

* Double clicking a cell with the left mouse button or pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap> or the <keycap>F2</keycap> key also starts editing of the current row.‎

Edit

* Pressing the <keycap>Esc</keycap> key when the contents of a cell is edited cancels changes made to this cell. However, the pencil symbol will not disappear because you can still move to a different cell of the edited row to change its contents. To cancel changes made to the entire edited row, press the <keycap>Esc</keycap> key again. ‎

Edit

* Instead of pressing the <keycap>Esc</keycap> key, you can click the <menuchoice>Cancel Record Changes</menuchoice> toolbar button.‎

Edit

* Press the <keycap>Shift + Enter</keycap> keys to accept changes made to all cells in the currently edited row.‎

Edit

Fill the '''''Phones''''' table with data. In the '''''person''''' column you need to provide an '''''Id''''' number of the person existing in the '''''Persons''''' table.‎
