Assign Categories to Tables

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I do have some ideas to allow for categorization, but I’m not yet sure how to properly implement it.
In the meantime, I suggest to use the table ID, which does not have to be numeric, but can be a string, like category-3 (with category being some category name).

Widening that field is not trivial, it would need some CSS changes.

Thanks Tobias.

I am currently using the table ID for unique names as many of my tables relate to the careers of people. The display of the table ID is only 3-4 characters before it wraps to the next line, and so on.

I am using the Description field as my Category and I have found that the “Search Tables” actually gives me the result I want if the value in Description is unique. For example, if I search for a Description “Career”, I will get all tables with a Description of “Career” plus any that have the word “Career” in the table or in the table ID. If I make the Description “#Career” and search for that, I only get the tables that have that description.

So, a work-around that works well for me ??

Many thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

using the Description is also a great idea! I never thought about that. Thanks for sharing!

Best wishes,
