Editing a datapool

In a manner similar to editing a spreadsheet, you can add, modify or remove data from a datapool.

When you right-click on the datapool editing grid, you see the datapool editing popup menu shown in the following figure.



To add data to the currently selected equivalence class, you just click the cell and type, and hit Enter to create a new row (record). To relocate or remove a row, you right-click on the row. To rename, relocate, or remove a column, you click the column name.

This task explains how to add variables and records (rows) using the popup editing menu. Alternatively, you can maintain variables from the Overview tab and create new rows with the Enter key.

To add a column to a datapool from an equivalence class tab:
  1. Click the column that will be on the left of the new column.
  2. Right-click on the grid and select Add Variable. The Add Variable dialog box opens.
  3. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name (employee name, account ID, etc.) for the data that will be entered into this column.
  4. In the Type field, enter a type description, such as String.
  5. The Add pull-down box will display After colname where colname is the column that you clicked in step 1. Click the down arrow on the right to place the column in a different position.
  6. Click OK.
To add a row to a datapool from an equivalence class tab:
  1. Click the row after which the new row should be added.
  2. Right-click on the grid and select Add Record. An empty row is added below the row you clicked in step 1.
