Enter and Edit Data

Entering data into the Spreadsheet is as simple as selecting the cell or cells you want to

edit and typing in a new value. For data that is generated by the fixture library, you may be

asked to select a value from a list. The list contains valid choices for the type of fixture you

have selected. In some cases, the data shown in the Spreadsheet is generated by

Emphasis, and may not be edited.

Enter data in the spreadsheet:

Step 1:

Click in the cell you want to modify.

Step 2:

Type the value and press ENTER, or double-click the cell to choose from a list of

valid or previously entered values. Click your selection from the list and click OK.

list of valid or previously entered values. Click your selection from the list and

Incremental Data Entry

want to make.
