Viewing a database: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:31, 19 October 2010

View list

The list view shows multiple entries, possibly in a more abbreviated form to ensure all the information fits. You may use the controls at the bottom of the screen to search and sort the contents.

View single: one item at a time
View list (red arrow): several items at a time (number is user defined)
Add entry (green arrows): add an item to the database

The icons highlighted in yellow are for editing, viewing and deleting an item in the database.

View single

Alternatively, you may view only one entry at a time. This might allow you to view more detailed information than the list view.

Add comment

If comments have been enabled, you may add a comment.

Rate entries

If ratings have been enabled, and made viewable, by the database editor, you may grade other database entries, and view these ratings.

-You'll be able to view the contents of your current database entries...
+* ''View single'': one item at a time
-: It really needs to be viewable in simple text as csv and and in tables... databases can get quite complex very quickly and viewing as as stacked data set makes almost no sense IMHO. Viewing as a text file will speed reusage of the datasets as it makes it easier to manipulate the data later.--[[User:Dennis Daniels|Dennis Daniels]] 20:00, 25 May 2006 (WST)
+* ''View list'' (red arrow): several items at a time (number is user defined)
-:: Furthermore, the list needs to have the ability to add multiple approval checkboxes so that a teacher/TA can scan down and approve lots of entries without have to have the page refresh everytime... hard on the server... and very slow...think about using the same kind of quick grading interface used in the assignment module... and extending the tags so that they can be used anywhere!--[[User:Dennis Daniels|Dennis Daniels]] 20:39, 25 May 2006 (WST)

-:How can I tell who made what entry? There's no indication of 'ownership' of the data entry---[[User:Dennis Daniels|Dennis Daniels]] 16:38, 25 May 2006 (WST)
