Edit Data in Read-Only Grids

If you cannot edit data because the table does not contain a primary key, you can define a temporary key so that you can edit the data.

Note: This topic focuses on information that may be unfamiliar to you. It does not include all step and field descriptions.

To edit data in a read-only grid

1. Click the red indicator in the lower left of the data.

2. Accept the defaults to begin editing data or review the following:

   Key Columns	Select the columns on which you want to add a temporary key for editing purposes.
   Updatable Columns	Select which columns are affected by updates and inserts.

Tip: You can select the drop-down beside to switch the data back to read-only mode or edit the settings.
