Setup Mode
Setup
mode is used to customize database objects, such as tables, forms, views, etc for various user roles.
If you need to return to User Mode, click on the
Exit Setup
button displayed in the top right corner. If you can’t exit setup mode, it’s most likely because you don’t have a role assigned in your database.
The Setup menu bar can be visible or hidden; just click on the List
icon near the
New Table
button. You can also make the menu pinned or unpinned
using the
Pin
icon displayed on the menu sidebar.
When you click on the Database
tab, you’ll see the database-wide settings and an alphabetically sorted list of tables.
To adjust a property, feature, or object in a table, activate this table (click on a table name) and choose the action you need from the corresponding section. For example, to change existing columns in the "Activities" table, select this table, click on the Customize existing columns
link in the Columns
section, and edit column properties.
Use the Database Setup Menu displayed on the right to switch between Setup sections and items.
You can pin favorite tables beside the Database tab. Click on the Pin
icon to pin it, and as a result, such a tab will be fixed.
Use the Search for keywords
box to find tables, columns, etc. Start typing, and TeamDesk will dynamically filter the table list and in-page grids. Confirm your choice by pressing the search button or the enter key, and the system will search for the text you’ve typed throughout the database settings.
