General Tab
A double click on any table entry opens the entry mask with one or several tabs containing different metadata. The following tabs are installed as default (but not necessarily visible according to the configuration):
Class | The entry class can be changed if other classes are allowed in the current table. The class defines which tabs are available in the entry mask; e.g. the tab "Music1" might only be visible in the "Music" class, if defined accordingly. If an item of a class not permitted in a table is dragged to the table, a blocker cursor will be displayed to explain the conflict. |
