Tour: Delimited Columns
Top  Previous  Next

In addition to the standard fields you can add to a view, Zoot lets you add delimited fields to a view as columns. A valid delimited field is any word or phrase which begins on a new line and ends with a colon. For example, e-mail messages typically include the delimited fields <Subject:>, <To:>, <From:> and <Date:> as shown here:

Subject: Project Deadline  
To: bill@xyz.com (Bill Boggs)  
From: nancy@xyz.com (Nancy Drew)  
Date: Jun-23-2004 Wed 5:49pm  
 
Here the delimited field Genre has been added to the view. When the user clicks on the Genre column, a drop down list of choices appears.
