Erase Item / remove from grid | Ctrl + E Delete (see comments *) | If the grid context allows to only "remove" the item(s) from the current Grid view (i.e., the item's field corresponding to the Grid's source will be erased) easily and without compromising user data, a second option is offered. Otherwise, it's only possible to permanently delete the item(s) from the database. * Delete will only work as CTRL + E if the full item is selected. Otherwise, it will delete the currently selected field's content | |
Delete field's content | Delete | Focus has to be on the field(s) to be deleted (possible to select multiple fields with ctrl+click, shift-up/down arrows, etc. if the "multiple columns" selection mode is on).
