Using Table View
In Bento, you use table view to display text and media in a
spreadsheet-like format where rows represent records and
columns represent fields.
This chapter describes how to create and modify records in table view, sort records,
and rearrange, summarize, and display data in columns.
About Table View
In table view, you can see your records in rows with the fields in columns (in a format
similar to a spreadsheet).
To go to table view, choose View > Table View.
Table view gives you flexibility while working with your data. For example, you can:
• see more than one record at a time
• choose which fields are displayed as columns
• sort records in ascending or descending order by using sort commands in the
column header pop-up menu
• duplicate one or more records
• delete multiple records
• enter, select, copy, and paste values in one or more cells, in a spreadsheet-like
manner
