==================================

The Data Table can be used as a tool to manage waypoints, tracks, routes, and real-time data.

Editing Table Information
-------------------------------
Editing the data table in DNRGPS is much simplified and improved from DNRGarmin.  Editing cells now operates much the same as any spreadsheet program (such as Excel).

**Modifying Cell Values**
   Click on a cell once to select.  Click again or press F2 to modify the cell content.

**Adding Records**
   The last row in the data table is always a new record.  Start typing into one of the cells of that row to create the new record.

**Deleting Records**	
   Select an entire row by clicking the row header to the left of each record.  To select multiple rows, click and drag, ctrl-click, or shift-click.  Once the desired rows are selected.  Click the *delete* button: |delete|. To clear the entire data table, use the |clear| (*Clear Table*) button.

**Deleting (hiding) Columns**
   You can toggle columns on or off through the properties menu for Waypoint/Track/Route.  Uncheck the checkbox to the left of the field to turn off the column.
   
**Saving Data**
   When you save your data, if you have a selection of whole rows, only those records that are selected are saved to a shapefile, graphic or text file. If you have no records selected then all records will be saved. To clear the selection, click in any single cell in the table.

**Copying and Pasting Data**
   You can copy and paste data to and from Excel and within the data table using the |copy| (*Copy from cells*) and |paste| (*Paste into table*) buttons. The selection for the copy can be individual cell(s) or full row(s).

**Roll up Tracks**
   If a track record has a "-" in the row header, it is the start of a track. You can double-click on it to hide all records within that track. The first record of each track will have *new_trk* = True and *new_seg* = True. To create multipart polygons, keep *new_trk* False for all records except the top one to group them together, and use *new_seg* = True for the first record of each part. To keep each as a separate feature, change *new_trk* to True for the first record of each track.

**rident and tident**
   The ident field stores the ID for the individual waypoint. To change a whole route's or track's name, change the *rident* or *tident* fields, respectfully.

**Sorting**
   To sort a wapoint table based on a specific field click on the field header. **Note:** You are unable to sort track and route tables because they rely on a specific record order.

**Note:** There is no longer a limit to the number of records in the data table.
