Adding and Removing Table Fields

     

It is important to remember that when you insert a field into a table, you are not really adding a field to Project. You are just displaying a field that already exists. This same concept is even more important to take into account when you remove a field from a table. You are not removing it from Project ”you are just making it so that this field is no longer displayed in that table. This section covers the adding and removing of fields from tables.

Adding New Fields to a Table

Click the View, Table, More Tables menu item.

Select the table you want to edit.

Click the Edit button.

Select the row just below where you want the new field to appear (the new field will appear to the left of the selected field in the table after it is applied to a view).

Click the Insert Row button.

In the new blank row, select the field to be displayed.

When you have entered the field information for your new field(s), click OK to save the changes to the table.

For Your Information

Field Orientation

In the table definition, dialog fields are listed in a top-to-bottom orientation. In views, fields are listed from left to right. The higher the field is in the Definition dialog, the farther to the left the field will appear in the view. So, the field at the top of the list in the dialog will be the field that is the farthest to the left in the view.
