Fields

Although Eudi is mostly based on the assumption that the data that the user needs appears in the document as a table, there are a lot of cases in which some of the data is available in locations outside of a table.
This is where fields come in.

Eudi's Field Creation mode is designed to allow the user to add additional data from the page into converted table(s).

Creating and Editing Fields

When the document is in the Field Creation mode, the user can add a new field to the page layout by click-and-dragging a box with the mouse. When the mouse button is released, the field is added to the layout.
Note that fields cannot overlap each other, or any of the tables. This means that the user cannot select a region a part of which intersects with a field or a table.

Existing fields can be selected clicking on them. The field's area can be changed by dragging its border.

Fields can be erased using the Delete Selection command of the Selection Menu, or via the document's Context Menu.

Each field can have a name.
The name of the field is used when converting it; more information is available in the Fields Conversion topic.

The field can also be attached to a specific table. It will be converted with that table only, and can be moved when the table is moved. It will also be hidden if the table is not found on the page.

When created, the output of a field conversion is the data inside it, just like a table cell. The user can also mark the field as Text to ensure that the indentation and line wrapping will be kept (providing the appropriate options are set in the Format settings page).
Additionally, the user can mark the field as an image, in which case the field will be converted as an image.
Note that image fields and line wrapping will not be converted into the clipboard or into CSV files.
