Deleting a Field Type
You may only delete field types that are not in use
within E-Notebook section types.
To delete a field type:
1. From the Add-In Configuration dialog, click
the field type in that you wish to delete.
The field type is highlighted.
2. Click the Delete button.
A message appears, asking you to confirm that
you wish to delete the field Type.
3. Click Yes.
If the field type is not used in an E-Notebook
section type, it is deleted. Otherwise, an error
message appears, notifying you that the field
type is in use and cannot be deleted.
Time Settings
Whenever a date or time is displayed in
E-Notebook, it is displayed with a time zone bias
from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The
format of the time zone bias is +HHMM. The plus
sign indicates time zones that are east of UTC to the
international date line by a specified number of
hours and minutes (Paris to Auckland and beyond);
a minus sign indicates time zones that are west of
UTC to the international date line (Azores to
Midway Island, and beyond).
Dates appear in the following locations:
1. The history display
2. The collection properties dialog box
3. The version properties dialog box
4. The session manager dialog box
5. The properties field type control
6. The tables field type control
7. The query table field type control
8. The collection query field type control
9. The state query field type control
10. The table of contents
In the history display, the collection properties
dialog box, the version properties dialog box and
the session manager dialog box, dates are displayed
using the time zone of the client machine that
generated the date. For example, the time of a
version is displayed in the time zone of the user
who saved the version; the time of an annotation is
displayed in the time zone of the user who created
the annotation.
In the properties and tables field type controls,
when a user is about to edit a date, the date to be
edited is changed to the corresponding time stamp
of the editing user's time zone. For example, User
A in New Jersey enters a date of June 1, 2004
12:00:00 PM in a date property in a property list.
After editing, the date appears as “06-01-2004
12:00:00 PM -0500”. User B in New Jersey views
the property list with the saved date and the date
appears the same. If User B decides to edit the date,
then, when the edit controls appear, the edit
controls are initialized with the date 06-01-2004
09:00:00 AM. If the user makes no changes, then
the value does not change. If the user changes the
time to 09:00:01 AM, then the date appears in the
property list as “06-01-2004 09:00:01 AM -0800”.
When user C in London views the date, it will
appear as “01-06-2004 09:00:01 AM -0800” because
user C’s date settings on their client machine specify
that days appear before months in short dates.
