In Place edit

This section explains the concepts associated with In Place editing.

Some data sets may not allow for record additions, deletions, or even modifications. When there is a limitation on the operations that can be performed, the edit session is considered to be In Place only. In Place will appear at the bottom of the editor and record operations not allowed by the data set are disabled when Right-clicking on a record.

To enable a data set to use In Place edit mode:
  1. Right click a data set in the RSE view to display the pop-up menu.
  2. Select Properties to open the properties panel.
  3. Select File Manager Edit Entry options from the left pane of the properties panel.
  4. Place a check mark next to In Place Edit only.
  5. Click OK to exit.
