[Isis-users] help worksheet

[De Smet Egbert]

Hi,

can you please be a bit more specific on the problem of creating the worksheet ? What are fields 505 and 710 ? What do you mean by 'links' (which are missing along with the tagnumbers) ?
Could you perhaps attach the file itself (yourworksheet.fmt) of that worksheet (in /abcd/www/bases/yourbase/def/yourlanguage/*.fmt ) or otherwise 'list' that worksheet and print out the page of that list ? Also screenshots might help to clarify.

Your other problem : there is indeed no option to 'save as' in order to 'copy' a worksheet. That could be an addition later on. For now you can, if you have access to the server where ABCD is installed, use Windows (or Linux) file-manager to save the model-worksheet (from where you start) under another name with .fmt extension, add it with a text-editor to the file 'formatos.wks' in that same folder mentioned above and then open it in ABCD for editing and updating (=saving) again. This is not very practical, but we thought the procedure to create a new worksheet is easy enough to make 'save as' not a priority.

Hi abcd experts and users,

I am trying to make a new worksheet from scratch and I encounter some difficulties.
After <Update database definitions – Worksheet> I use the blue arrows to indicate the fields I want in my new worksheet. I don’t like the Headers so I leave them all out. After saving and trying out the worksheet in our database, I notice that tagnumber 505+ and 710+ are missing. I do see <Formatted Contents note> and <Corporate name> but without the tagnumbers and links. After 500+ I also get indicator 1 and indicator 2. Very strange.

I tried then to use an existing worksheet that was working well. But after finishing my only choice is to <Update> the existing. I do not have the option to Save my worksheet under a different name and leave the other intact, without changes. Let’s say a <Save as> option.
Who can help me out please, thanks in advance,
