I'm brand new to pilot-db, having just downloaded db-1_0_4.zip. I used the MobileDB plug-in and imported a database. It works great. I'm confused, though, about creating and changing "views". It looks like the documentation that came with the .prc is out of sync and the UI is not intuitive to me on this point. Chapter 6, "Utilizing Views", tells me I should be able to create a new view with the View Manager. When I'm in what I assume is the default view of my db, I tap "All Fields" in the upper right. I tap "Edit List Views..." and I get a form titled "DB:List Views" that looks like the scrren shot it "Accessing the View Manager", except there's no "new" button, just "edit" and "done". What am I missing? There's one feature that I see in my demo version of MobileDB that I like. It's that when I scroll horizontally, the leftmost column is not replaced. In other words, only columns 2 through n are scrolled, and in a circular fashion. That allows the user to keep the "name" of each record in view as the fields are scrolled. Is there a way to set up views in pilot-db to do that? I took a look for these issues in the archive before this posting. I apologize if I'm going over old ground. Thanks. Stuart Blood |
