Table input is an Excel-like mode for entering one part's operations: instead of separate forms, operations are entered as rows in a table. The mode applies to the current part — its number, name and sizes are shown in the header.

How to open and go back

You switch to the table mode from the part's regular operation input. The «Back» button at the top returns to the regular input of the same part — the data is kept in the draft.

Three operation tabs

At the top of the table are the tabs «Drilling», «Grooving», «Recess». Switching a tab changes the table: each operation type has its own set of columns (see the article «Columns by operation type»). Each table row is one operation.

Draft and saving

All edits first accumulate in the part's draft — switching tabs and going «Back» do not lose them. To write the operations to the part, press «Save»: the data is validated before writing. Rows with errors are highlighted — fix them and save again.
