How to Move an Attribute

Briefly

You can drag an attribute in a case table. Its position will change in that case table but will not be changed in the inspector or in other case tables.

 

Or, you can cut the attribute and paste it in a new position in a case table, affecting its position in the inspector and other case tables.

To move an attribute in a case table by dragging

The move at right shows how to do it. (If you missed the movie, reload this page to show the movie again.)

Click and drag an attribute to its new position.

But be aware that this only affects the position of the attribute in this table. When you inspect the collection or view it in another table, it will have the original position.

To move an attribute by cutting and pasting

  1. Select the attribute in a case table.

  2. Choose Cut Attribute from the Edit menu.

  3. Select the attribute just to the right of the new position for the attribute (or no attribute if you want it at the end of the list).

  4. Choose Paste Attribute from the Edit menu.

Using this method, the attribute will show up in its new position in the inspector and in all case tables.
