Datasheets

Datasheets are a tabulated way to view and enter in data in a quick and easy manner. They provide an alternative way to enter information from the forms.

Datasheets can be found in most menus of SkyCiv Structural 3D. Each row represents a new entry, and each column represents a different field.

The datasheet has a range of benefits to the user; enabling them to view and edit a number of components with speed an ease. There are two ways to open the datasheet for a particular component

1. Under the navigation bar option 'Data'
2. By clicking the Datasheet icon in the top right corner of the entry form.

The datasheet acts much like an Excel Spreadhseet. Once the datasheet is open, you can make the most of the following functionality:

• Copy/Paste from excel or other spreadsheet programs
• Drag cells to copy (Select the cell, then drag the bottom right corner in the direction you wish to copy)
• Multiple Select and Delete
• Sort by column to view particular data

In addition to the above, the following notes about the datasheet should be understood:

• Changes will not be submitted until user hits 'Apply'
• A blank or incomplete row will be ignored by the program
• Right clicking a cell will allow you to remove rows and undo/redo
• Add multiple rows using the function in bottom right corner
