Working With Columns Chapter 13, Configuring Xgig TraceView

Add to this Column
Adding to a column allows you to display whatever trace information you find useful in a single
column. It performs a similar function to inserting a new column, except this function inserts the
new information into the selected column rather than creating a new column. Add to this column
functions are only applicable to the TraceView main spreadsheet view.
To add information to an existing column:
1
Right-click the column heading where you want to add information.
2 Select Add to This Column… from the menu. The Add To This Column dialog box appears.
See Figure 136.
3 Expand or collapse the hierarchy of information in the dialog box until you see the item
containing the information you want to add. You can also type in the name of information field
in the
Select Field drop-down box at the bottom of the dialog. The drop down box has a list of
all information fields in alphabetical order. If you do not know the complete field name, type
the first few letters and use the pull-down menu to select the correct field name. Field names
are case-sensitive.
4 Press the Add button. The new information appears immediately in the column display for the
currently selected column.
5 You can repeat and add as much information as you want to a column. When finished adding
information to the current column press the
Close
button.
You can also add to a column by selecting a column value in the column where you want to add
information. However, this will bring up a dialog which does not give a hierarchy of the
information you can add to the column. This method is only recommended if you know the name
of the column you are adding and can type the column name into the field. The drop down box has
a list of all information fields in alphabetical order. If you do not know the complete field name,
type the first few letters and use the pull-down menu to select the correct field name. Field names
are case-sensitive.
