You can make changes to the structure of your table directly in MapInfo Pro. You can add or remove fields, change the order, name, type, width, or index of any field. You can also specify or determine the projection of the table from this dialog box. You can also check if the table is mappable (contains map objects).
The Table is Mappable option in the Modify Table Structure dialog box allows you to modify a table so you can map it or, when left cleared, it will ungeocode your table.
To change the structure of the table:
- On the TABLE tab, in the Maintenance group, click Table, and Modify Structure to open the View/Modify Table Structure dialog box.
- Click the View/Modify Table drop-down list, a list of available tables displays.
- Choose the table you want to modify.
- Click OK.
The Modify Table Structure dialog box displays for editable tables and allows you to change the structure of a table. The View Table Structure dialog box displays for read-only tables and is only for viewing the table's structure.
To move a column in the Modify Table Structure dialog box, select the column you want to move and drag it to the new position in the list. A small blue arrow shows the position of the column you are dragging.
