What is the difference between an editable table and a read-only table?

Editable tables can be changed and get new rows. Read-only tables only show data, and you get a message if you try to change something.

AIMZ has two types of tables: editable tables, where you can change and add rows, and read-only tables, which only show data. In a read-only table you can view, filter, sort and copy, but not change values.

How to tell the difference

  • Editable table: At the bottom there is a New row row, and the cells can be selected and changed. The bottom also shows how many columns can be changed, for example "5 of 15 columns can be changed".

  • Read-only table: There is no New row, and the bottom says Read only. If you try to type in a cell, you get the message "Read only. Values cannot be changed directly in the table."

When is the whole table read-only?

  • When you are a user with read-only access.

  • When you view the project at an earlier point in time with Time travel.

Good to know

Even in an editable table, some columns and rows can be locked, for example calculated figures and summary rows. They have muted (grey) text.
