Mariner Software MacGourmet Deluxe - Manual (Page 60)

This chapter describes adding, modifying, and searching
your information, like categories, equipment and recipe in-
gredients.
L TIP: The Lists Editor is a VERY powerful tool and cau-
tion should be exercised when using it to modify your
information. Make sure you check your changes before
pressing “Yes” when you are asked to confirm your
change.
The Lists Editor allows you to view and edit information in your database. The
library browser has six tabs: Recipes, Cooking Notes, Wines, Beers, Cheeses,
and Shopping Lists.
Each tab has a popup menu that displays the fields that can be browsed and
edited. Select a field in the popup to display the information associated with the
selected field in the list below.
= User created field
= Default MacGourmet Deluxe field
Either can be changed or deleted.
= Locked field and can’t be changed.
To change a field’s value, double-click on it, change the value and press Return
when finished.
Selecting an item from the list updates the “Used By” table at the bottom of the
library browser to display items that use the selected value. To go to the item in
your recipe box, double-click on the item in the “Used By” table.
Some lists, like categories, are lists you can directly modify, and some, like In-
gredient Descriptions, are built from the information you have entered into your
database. Because of this, items in a list like “Ingredient Descriptions” can only
be “deleted” by removing the values from any items that are using them. If you
change one of these values in the middle table, all of the items that use the
value will be updated with the new value. When nothing uses a value, it is re-
moved from the list.
