We recommend that some basic Preparation is carried out, before adding a new Data Table to a ClearSCADA system.
To add a Data Table to the ClearSCADA database:
- Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
- In the Database Bar, right-click on the System or Group for which you want to add a Data Table.
A context sensitive menu is displayed. - Select the Create New option.
A further menu is displayed. - Select the Tables and Grids option.
A further menu is displayed. - Select the Data Table option.
A Data Table is added to the root of the System or to the selected Group (depending on your selection in step 2). It is selected automatically, ready for you to enter its name. - Enter a suitable name for the item (taking into account the ClearSCADA Naming Restrictions).
- Press the Enter key or select another part of the ViewX interface to confirm the entry.
When you have added a Data Table to the system, you can then Configure the Properties on the Data Table Form, or Edit a Data Table and add fields to that table.
