User Data

The User Data feature of SNV allows you to associate any freeform text you wish with each coin in the SNV database.

Pressing the User Data button brings up the following dialog:

User Data Dialog

User Data Dialog

In the blank text area in the central part of the window, you may enter any freeform text you want. You may wish to keep additional notes on each variety, or perhaps note your own holdings.

If you have previously entered User Data for this variety, then the dialog will open with your previous data visible instead of a blank text area.

The meanings of the buttons at the bottom are as follows:

Cancel

Cancel will exit the User Data Dialog and return you to the main window. No edits to the filename list will be remembered.

Clear

Clear removes all text visible in the central text area..

Save

Save saves the data you have created to a file in the User Data directory (see Preferences). The name of the file is automatically chosen to map to the database entry.

Delete

Delete removes the data you have associated with the variety. A backup copy is made in case you later decide that deleting was not what you intended.

Restore

Restore recovers the most recent copy of data that you deleted. Only the most recently deleted data is available for restore.

Notes:

You can easily tell which varieties have associated User Data. Once you enter User Data for a variety, the row that contains that variety in the Main Window will have the Year column colored red instead of the normal black.

The User Data feature may not be available in demo versions of SNV software.
