My Data

Within the main Metamation work frame, displayed either from the home page or the "nodal display", the screen is initially divided into sections for different types of information including Alerts (actions you need to carry out), Documents, Nodes (document and data stores) and Metrics.

The Data area of the display shows storage tables which have been defined within the Metamation repository to hold structured information. The "My Data" panel of the home page will list defined data tables based on the level of access you have been granted, the table filter you have applied and the view currently in place.

At the top of the "My Data" display, a drop down list is available to control the tables you want to see. The options available will vary depending on your security level and the view currently present, but will include:

Tables I can access - Lists tables you can access, which will be your own data tables (you control), plus any tables which belong within storage nodes which you have been given access to Tables I Own or control - Lists storage data tables owned by you To the right of the tables filter, another drop down list allows you to filter on the types of tables to be displayed based on the tables time period. These two filters can be combined to quick filter down to the storage tables of interest.

At the bottom of the "My Data" portion of the work area, a "NEW" button is available to allow the creation of new storage tables.

Within the list of tables on the display, the table name, record type (local, shareable etc), description, and status will be displayed. You can select any line with the mouse pointer to jump into the table properties for the selected table. When the mouse pointer is left over any of these table properties, where held against a table, the table synopsis is displayed in a hovering window.

To the right of the other table information, various icons are displayed allowing activity to be performed on the table. The icons displayed and available will vary depending on the table type, your security level and the status of the table. The following options are generally available:

- Places a watch on the table to report any changes. Where a watch already exists, this icon is displayed in red.

- Displays the properties of the table, allowing change of content and use.

- Displays the actual content (data) within the defined data, in a variety of formats.
