Metadata Windows

From the View menu, choose Metadata, and then choose a command from the submenu to display metadata windows, where you can view and edit information about the current data window.

TIP

Tips:

  • If you want to sort the contents of a metadata window, you can click a column heading to sort in ascending or descending order.

  • If you want to copy metadata to the clipboard, right-click the window and choose Copy to Clipboard from the shortcut menu.

  • If you want to customize the format for copying metadata to the clipboard, right-click the window and choose Custom Copy to Clipboard from the shortcut menu. The Copy Metadata dialog is displayed to let you choose whether you want to copy the data as formatted text or delimited text, set a delimiter, and choose whether you want to include a header row.
    Click OK to copy the metadata to the clipboard, and you can then paste the information wherever you need it.

  • If you want to display all metadata windows docked together, choose View > Metadata > Show All, and then choose a command from the submenu to indicate where you'd like to display the docked window.
