TableSmith Categories

TableSmith uses "categories" to help you organize your tables. A category is simply a folder you create in your "Tables" folder. The Category List on the main interface will display the folders in "Tables", and selecting one will display the table files in that folder.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Though you can have tables with the same names in different categories/folders, you are encouraged to use unique names for all your tables. At present, TableSmith has no way of distinguishing two tables with the same name (and thus can generate unexpected results). This may change in the future.
• If a category/folder starts with a "~" character, it will not be displayed in the interface's drop-down list. Tables in that folder will still be seen by TableSmith. Use this feature if you have tables that you don't want to see in the interface but which other tables may use (such as reference tables).
