To edit the properties of a data table, do one of the following:
Select it, and pick File > Edit.
Select it, and pick View > Properties.
Right-click the data table icon, and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
In summary view, click the Edit button at the top of the page.
When you edit a data table, the standard Info, Permissions, and History tabs are available, in addition to a Fields tab, which allows you to edit table fields.
When editing a data table’s fields, you can add, rename, and delete fields, and modify certain field options. Once the data table is created, however, you cannot
change the data type of a field
change or remove the entry name field
reorder fields
You can change the choices in a Choice list, and members in a Member list. However, you cannot change a Date to a Due date, nor a member field that allows multiple choices back to one that permits a single choice only.
If you delete a Discussion field, all comments in all of the data table’s entries are removed.
If you delete an Attachments field, all attachments are removed from every entry in the data table. This action cannot be undone. Attachments that are linked elsewhere in the repository are unlinked. If any attachment cannot be deleted, no attachments are deleted. Until the delete operation concludes, no one can delete the data table, add or remove entries, edit the data table’s properties, nor edit the data table’s entries.
