Manage tables

You can open and delete tables with the options available in the Assets page.

Important:  Assets inherit design-time permissions from the solution. To give users design-time access to an asset, add them to the solution with the appropriate solution role. For more information, see Assets.

Each table on the Assets page has an options menu with actions relevant to that table. Some options are common to all tables, while others depend on the permissions.

  • To open the options menu, find the table you want and click that's displayed on the right of the table.

For information about the different options available, see Table options ()

Open a table

  • On the Assets page, click the name of the table you want to open, or click next to the table and select Open.

Delete a table

  • On the Assets page, click next to the table and select Delete.
