Custom Data Selections

To create a Custom data selection:

1. Open the properties dialog box for the object for which you want to create a data selection.
2. In the properties dialog box, click Data.
3. Select Custom data selection.

Create the Custom data selection using PlanetPress Talk. You can enter the selection on a single line, or divide it over several lines, depending on the selection you are trying to create and how you define it. If you create a complex data selection, breaking it up over several lines can make it more readable. When you break a selection over several lines, for each line, you determine whether to terminate it with a carriage return followed by a line feed (CRLF).

Navigating, inserting, deleting and repositioning lines:

• To navigate within the Custom data selection: Use either the mouse or the ARROW keys.
• To Add a new line, hit Enter on your keyboard to add a new line after the current one, or right-click on any line and select Custom Data Selection CRLF in the menu to insert the line at the mouse cursor position.
• To delete a line: Highlight the contents of the line and press BACKSPACE twice.
• To reposition a line: Click the line you want to reposition and use the arrow buttons on the right of the Custom data selection area to move the line up or down in the String to display lines.

Once you are done with your custom data selection, Click OK to close the object properties and save your changes.

If necessary, step through the sample data file to verify the data selection is accurate for the record sets in the sample data file.
