When you open a table's Browser window, you can save the expressions and column order you create for this data so that it displays each time you open the Browser window for this table. To achieve this, save these columns, their order and the expressions in the Pick Fields dialog box.
To select and save columns and expressions to a Browser's metadata:
-
Make a Browser window the active window.
-
On the TABLE tab, in the Browser Tools group, click Pick Fields to open the Pick Fields dialog box.
-
In the Pick Fields dialog box, to create a new Browser view, click Add to add the fields from the left column to the list on the right and use the Up and Down buttons to arrange the columns in the order you want them to display. Any columns you do not move to the Columns in Browser list do not display in the new view.
To remove a column from the Columns in Browser list, click the column entry. Click Remove.
To return the lists to their original entries, click Reset.
-
To create an expression to save to the Browser view, scroll to the bottom of the left hand column and click the Expression entry. Use the Expression dialog box to enter the expression and click OK to complete it.
-
When you have your expressions and columns set the way you want them to display, select the Save as Default Browser View check box. Click OK to save these settings.
Note: If you change the data structure of the table the Browser is based on, MapInfo Pro removes this column and expression setting information from your table.
