This is a tool that is located on the Data Editing section of the Edit Tab.

Function

The Basic Editor interface () allows users to search, create, and update data in the Inventory Data Tables.

Sections

While the Basic Editor can be accessed through the Select from Map pop-up, it can also be accessed through the Basic Editor icon. The interface is divided into 4 sections: (1) Required Information, (2) Data Items, (3) Button Controls, and (4) Expand and Collapse Controls. 

(1) Required Information

The Required Information section of the interface is used to specify which Inventory data set and data items will be displayed in the table. This section hosts the Data Table dropdown control, alongside these controls:

Enter Route Button

The Enter Route tool allows the user to manually enter information to search for a relevant route. Once the "Enter Route" button is selected, a pop-up window will appear on the screen. This pop-up window has some filter categories to help the user find their desired route; the route type, route number, and direction filters must be filled in order to run the search.

(2) Data Items

The Data Items table will display data for the full extent of the selected route. This table is used for viewing and editing these data items. The Data Table connects to the Map interface through the table rows. When a row in the table is clicked, the map will zoom in and highlight the corresponding segment in the Map Frame. When the segment is clicked, the map will zoom to the feature and highlight the corresponding row in the table. 

Data Items can be edited by clicking in the desired cell in the table, prompting picklists or textboxes to appear. Rows can be deleted by clicking the checkboxes in the first column of the table and selecting the “Delete Selected Rows” link.  

(3) Button Controls

The following controls are provided in this section of the Basic Editor:

Icons	Name	Used To...
	Save to Source Checkbox	Commit changes to original source data items.
	Add Row Link	Insert a row into the table. New rows will appear at the top of the table.
	Delete Selected Rows Link	Delete a row or rows from the table. The records must be selected in the first column of the table to be deleted.
	Save Changes Button	Save changes to the data set.
	Discard Changes Button	Discard changes made since the last save operation.

(4) Expand and Collapse Controls

The Basic Editor can be expanded and collapsed using the Maximize and Minimize buttons in the top right corner of the data table. If the Basic Editor is expanded (), it will fill the entire screen. If it is collapsed (), the only trace of the Basic Editor will be displayed in a singular bar at the bottom of the screen, with the Required Information portion shown. The Basic Editor can also be exited from this section.
