Data Builder includes Administration , Home, and Fields tabs, which display options that you can use to create and manage your databases.
When the Home or Fields tab is selected, a ribbon is displayed. The options that are available on the ribbon depend on whether you are configuring a phrase library or a data table and on whether the Home or Fields tab is selected.
Below the ribbon, the Tables pane displays all the tables and phrase libraries in the current database. To the right of this pane is the data pane. The options that are available in the data pane depend on whether you are configuring a phrase library or a data table. When you configure a data table, you can switch between the Data View and Design View panes by clicking the tabs at the bottom of the data pane.
The Fields tab is available only when you are working with a data table and using Data view. The properties that are displayed on the Fields tab are the properties of the currently selected column or field in Data view. In Design view, you can edit field properties by using the Field Properties pane at the bottom of the view.
