To Add a Column to a Component Size Table

Use this procedure to add a column to the size table for a selected component in the Detail Component Manager.

1. Click Home tabDetails panelDetail Components.
2. Select a database from the Current detail component database list.
3. Click to enter edit mode.
4. In the hierarchical tree view, expand the root node and group/subgroup nodes as necessary to locate the component you want to edit.
5. In the table, right-click any column title, and click Add Column.
6. In the Add New Column dialog box, enter a name for Field Name. If the name you enter matches one of the GlobalName values in the ColumnDisplay table for this database, the LocalName value associated with that global name will be displayed when you click in the Display Name field. You can use this as the display name for the new column, or you can enter a different name, in which case a new entry will be added to the ColumnDisplay table to reflect the new LocalName value you have created for an existing GlobalName value. (A new ColumnDisplay table entry will also be created if the name you enter for Field Name does not match an existing GlobalName value.)
7. Select a data type (String, Memo, Integer, or Real), specify a length (up to 255 characters), and click OK.

   The specified column is added to the right of any existing columns.
