Modifying The Table Selector Access 2013

In a Web App, you interact with the data by selecting a table from the Table Selector and then selecting an available view associated with the table from a list of available views, called the View Selector. 

Each table in the Table Selector can be modified to rename captions or hide a table caption without affecting the underlying table. This means that the Table Selector works like a main menu for the application, and the View Selector works like a sub-menu. 

Modify the Table Selector to hide or show a table:

1. Click the table in the Table Selector. 
2. Click the Settings/Actions charm. 
3. Select Hide. 
   
4. The table name caption in the Table Selector is now grayed out. 

CAUTION: If an item is deleted, the underlying table will also be deleted. 

TIP: After you hide a table, the table name caption will be grayed out and moved to the bottom of the Table Selector. The table name caption will be hidden when you are viewing results in a browser. 

Change a table icon:

1. Click the formatting charm. 
2. Choose an icon for the Table Selector item. 

TIP: When you change a table name caption, it does not change the name of the actual table but instead changes only the table name displayed on the Table Selector.
