Opening a Table


A table is opened from a Browser when you double click on the specific item. Observe that this command has the additional effect of deselecting every item in the Browser. If this additional effect is undesirable, it can be inhibited by holding down <Ctrl> simultaneously.

In the case of single-object tables, point to the table name (e.g. Test Case name). To open a multiple-object table, point to a Browser item that is the title of the table (e.g. Test Case Variables) or to an object in the table (e.g. a Test Case Variable name).

In the case of collapsed items, point and double-click to expand the item (e.g. displaying all items at the next level below the pointed item). A double-click on a group table (regardless if it is collapsed or not) opens the group table. If the item pointed at is a leaf node that is not a table, the double-click will instead create a new item below it.

Alternatively, you may point and click once with the middle mouse button (i.e. set the input focus) and then press <t> to open the table. Note that the input focus can also be set with shortcut keys. See Key and Button Bindings.

If a table has previously been opened, but it is for some reason hard to get at, it may be brought forward by selecting the name of the table in the submenu Show Editor of the menu View.
