Data editing is done through the Data entry dialog accessed through the "Edit" --> "New record" menu choice, by double-clicking the line of data you want to edit or by pressing the Ctrl+e hotkey combination. You may also directly edit data in the main window by clicking on the entry you wish to change while depressing the "Alt" key.
When the dialog opens the currently selected data is inserted in all the fields. Any changes to this data will be saved over the old data if the "Update data" button is clicked.
An explanation of the fields:
- Date - Be sure the date is in the same format as shown. "Day Month Year" with the day being an integer, the Month being the first 3 letters of the month name and the year in 4 digits.
- Time - Be sure the time is in the same format as shown. "Hour:Minute AmPm" with the Hour being an integer less than 24, the Minute being an integer less than 60 and AmPm being "AM" or "PM". A colon separates the Hour and the Minute.
- Sticky - Normally the window closes automatically when the data is "Updated" to the database. Use this to keep the window open after "Updating". (Not much use for it in "Edit" mode but available anyways).
- Select Event - Choose the time of day or event this Bg reading will be set for.
- BgLevel - Enter the Bg reading here. Be sure to select the correct "Select Time" button before entering this data. You do not need to "Update" the database for each "BgLevel/Time of day" value that is added or changed. It is updated in memory and held until you "commit" you changes to the database by pressing the "Update data" button.
- Calories - If you are tracking calories, enter them in the box provided for this meal.
- Protein - If you are tracking protein, enter it in the box provided for this meal.
- Carbs - If you are tracking carb units, enter them in the box provided for this meal.
- Fat - If you are tracking fat, enter it in the box provided for this meal.
- Weight - Enter your weight here if you are tracking or changing it.
- Meal entries - Enter what you had for this meal or event in the entry field provided.
- Update data - Press this when you are satisfied with your entries and want to add the info to the database. If the "Sticky" button is selected the window will remain open otherwise the "Edit data" window will close.
- Open FoodList - Opens the FoodList window for reference or adding meal data to the current record.
- Add as Full Meal to FoodList - After entering your meal information (Meal, Calories, Protein, Carbs and Fat) you may save it to the FoodList database for later recall.
- Cancel - Closes the window without saving any of the current information.
When using the FoodList window, double clicking any entry in the "Full Meal" tree will add that meal information to the Edit record window replacing any present entries. This should be handy when entering meal data that is quite common to the user. You may only access the currently selected record in edit mode.
