Use these instructions to preserve expression and column information you set in a Browser window as the default view for the table. This ensures that when you open the table's Browser window again, the expressions and column order you created remains the same.
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, do any of the following:
- 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. Only columns you move to the Columns in Browser list display in the new view.
- Remove a column.
From the Columns in Browser list, click the column entry and then click Remove.
To return the lists to their original entries, click Reset.
- 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. 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 window is based on, MapInfo Pro removes this column and expression setting information from your table.
