The Lessons Table page allows system administrators to customize the fields and inputs for entering and displaying data about lessons in a Educational installation. The table below lists the fields that can be modified, input criteria, and formatting instructions. The named columns listed as examples are all default headings with default data types, display orders, and values. If you wish, you can delete, rename or hide all of the default columns and replace them with user-defined fields. However, in a typical educational setting, you will probably want to use at least some of the default data fields and types.
Column Name (no spaces) |
Typical lesson data fields - ID, LessonName, LessonNotes, Status,Columns01-10 (for user-defined data), DataGroupID. User-defined fields might include such things as CourseNumber or RelatedSpecimenID. |
Data Types |
Text (alphanumeric, appears in lists and search results), Memo (do not appear in lists and are not searchable), Date (must follow a user-defined data format, such as mm-dd-yyyy or dd-MMM-yy), ID (system assigned, numeric, automatically incremented) |
Order |
The order in which a field is displayed. Select from drop-down list (values are 1-29 or Not Visible). Note: If numbers 1-15 are assigned to data columns and you select 28 from the list as the display order for a new data column, Aperio eSlide Manager will put it at the end of the list, but will automatically increment the numbers in use by one. Thus, it will be assigned a value of 16 rather than 28. If you want to display a new data column in the middle in the columns and assign it an order of 7, the existing order values from 7 to 15 will increment by one. |
Display Name |
This is the name that users will see for all the columns you choose to display. Although the column name cannot contain spaces, the display name can. |
Tooltip Text |
Enables you to add a customer tooltip for the field. |
Access Audit |
If the Compliance module is licensed, you can choose which fields in the data table to audit for user access. (Access Auditing must be enabled in the Compliance section of the System Settings page.) |
Vocabulary |
This field can be used to limit valid input values to those you specify. Invalid inputs will be rejected. If you enter multiple input values, you must separate them with a pipe (|) character.. |
