What is this table?
The directory you opened β say archive/Acme/mdl/ β
is the table. table.yaml describes the
columns; form.yaml describes the row-edit form
schema; every other .yaml file in the directory
is one row. Copying the directory anywhere takes the whole
table (spec + form + every row) with it.
Editing cells
Click a cell to select it. Then:
- β / β / β / β
- Move selection. Hold Shift to extend a range.
- Tab / Shift+Tab
- Move right / left, wrap to next / previous row.
- Enter / F2 / double-click / typing
- Enter edit mode. Typing replaces the cell value; the
others keep it.
- Enter in edit mode
- Commit and move down.
- Tab in edit mode
- Commit and move right.
- Esc
- Cancel the edit; restore the prior value.
- Delete / Backspace
- Clear every cell in the current selection.
- Ctrl+D / Ctrl+R
- Fill the top row down / left column right through the
selected range.
- Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V
- Copy / paste β interoperates with Excel and Google
Sheets via tab-separated values.
- Ctrl+Z
- Undo the last edit (one history per session).
Edits save automatically when you move to a different row.
A small left-edge swatch on the row indicates state:
blue = unsaved, amber = the
server flagged a validation error, orange =
someone else changed this row since you loaded it (you'll
get a prompt with Use mine / Reload).
Sorting
Click a column header to sort by that column. Click again to
toggle direction. Shift-click another header to
add a secondary sort key.
Filtering
Type in the box under a column header to filter rows whose
value contains your text (case-insensitive). Same filter UI
for every column.
Customizing the columns
The default Master Deliverables List has columns for every
component of a tracking number
(originator, phase,
project, area,
discipline, type,
sequence, suffix) plus deliverable
metadata. To customize, drop your own
table.yaml (and matching
form.yaml) into this directory:
archive/<party>/mdl/
table.yaml β columns + sort/filter defaults
form.yaml β per-row schema (JSON Schema)
<id>.yaml ... β rows
Operator-supplied files override the embedded defaults.
Hide a column by omitting it from columns:;
add a column by appending one (and adding the matching
property in form.yaml's
schema.properties). The same pattern works
for any directory β <dir>/table.html
is automatically a table whenever
<dir>/table.yaml exists.
Permissions
Whether a row is editable depends on the cascading
.zddc permissions for the directory. Rows
in Issued or Received archives
are read-only by design (WORM).
