Managing the Table Library

For ease of access, tables are organized into a series of virtual folders known as the Table Library. For example, you might have the following table folders configured in your system:

  • GL data
  • Plan data
  • Drivers
  • Dimensions
  • Mapping tables

You can have as many folders and sub-folders as you need and name them anything you like. Axiom Software does not assume or require any particular folder names. You can change existing folder names as desired, as long as you update any impacted Save Type 3 settings (Save Type 3 specifies a target folder in the Table Library).

To manage the folders in the Table Library:

  • On the Axiom tab, in the Administration group, select Tables > Table Administration > Manage Tables.

Axiom Explorer opens, with the focus on the Table Library. The following actions are available for table folders:

Action Description

Adding folders

To add a top-level folder, right-click Table Library and then select New Folder. To add a sub-folder, right-click the parent folder.

Renaming folders

To rename a folder, right-click the folder and click Rename. The folder name becomes highlighted and editable. Type the new name.

Deleting folders

To delete a folder, right-click the folder and click Delete.

NOTE: If any tables are currently in the folder, then the Delete option is not available and does not display on the menu. You must first delete or move all of the tables in the folder.

Moving tables between folders

To move a table between folders, drag and drop the table to the new folder.

Note that if you want to change the folder location for a document reference table, you must edit the Control Sheet of the source file. See Using Save Type 3.
