Control window Data

The control window Data shows all data contained in the workbook regardless of whether a table view is currently open or not.

Double-click to open a closed table or to bring an already opened table to the foreground in the data window. If you open a table using the arrow, all data columns of a table are displayed.

A distinction is made between the following data types:

  • External Data - Data that you have imported (dark blue) or linked (light blue) into easymap
  • data from queries - working tables from the territory organization (dark red) and own created queries (lighter red)
  • Structural Data - These are created from the area organization.
  • Geographic Data - Data tables for the base maps
  • Analysis Results - As soon as you have created an analysis, the results are stored in a table.

Note: You can simply drag the table or table columns onto the sheet via Drag&Drop to add analyses or objects to the map.

More information on the various data can be found at Data Concept.

Properties This command opens another window that displays the Properties of the selected table. For linked tables, it is possible to re-link the path to the table so that the data can still be kept up-to-date.

Add columns later

easymap offers the possibility to create additional columns from the original file in already imported or linked tables and to fill them with data.

Here's the procedure:

  • In the control window Data click on the table where the new column should be added.
  • In the context menu, select Add column.
  • Name the column and select Data type. Please note that the column should be named in the same way as the original column. The data type should also correspond to the column in the original application file.
  • For imported data, select link imported data from the context menu.
  • Now click on the Update button in the Data control window or in the Data menu.

Now the new column was filled with the content of the original column. The linked data can now be changed back to imported.
