| 4.19 Editing and Updating Data:
Adding and Deleting Records |
|
| You can use a dataview to add records to or delete records
from a table or map layer. When you add records, the new records have missing data for all
fields. When you delete records, the data for these records are either removed from the
file or marked in the file as deleted. When you delete records, you can choose the ones to
delete by highlighting them in the dataview, or by using one of the selection commands or
tools. You cannot add line or area features to a geographic file from a dataview. Instead, you must use the geographic editing tools. When you add point features to a geographic file from a dataview, the longitude and latitude of the point are left blank. You can then type in a longitude and latitude, or use one of the Locate commands to fill in the correct location. |
