Let’s take a look.
You may hear words like Field Record Table
What is the relationship between these?
How does this help us manage our data?
![Page 4: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A Table by the Window?
Imagine you are dining out at a fine restaurant. The table is set with dinner plates, silver, napkins, glasses…Should you reach across the table to grab a fork? Which glass do you use?
![Page 5: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Excuse me, that’s my glass…
Of course, you know that each person has their own place setting at the table!
The parts of your place setting are related to you… Your fork Your napkin Your plate Your glass
![Page 6: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So, what’s my point?
The pieces of your place setting (fork, knife, plate) are like pieces of information, or “fields” of data, in a record.
Your place setting is your “record”. Your database record contains information related to you!
And, much like your place setting, your database record is held by a “table”.
![Page 7: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Data
Within a record, the pieces of information, called fields or columns, may include things like First Name Last Name Phone number SSN Street Address City
![Page 8: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pulling It All Together…
Unless you are dining alone, there are usually place settings for several people.
Similarly, a database is designed to hold records for many people – there is a record, or row, for John, for Jim, etc.
Those records are stored in a table.
![Page 9: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Follow along.
Next I’ll demonstrate how to set up a basic table in Access.
Imagine...you and your niece sell handmade quill boxes and black ash baskets. Business had grown tremendously since some of your items were featured on a friend’s web site. You need to move your customer records from paper to an electronic database...click on the link below.

Give it a try...
Now you do it. Click the words “Student Database”, below, to open a sample
database. Create a new table. Name your fields (Last Name, First Name, Phone, etc.) Define each field type – make them all “text” for now. If you get stuck, just minimize the database and navigate back
here. Hit the “save” button when you are done. You can review the demonstration by clicking “Review”, below.

Let’s Review…
A table holds records. Each record, sometimes referred to as a row,
contains pieces of information related to one individual or subject.
The pieces of information (like last name, first name, address, etc.) are called fields or columns.
A table contains many records and each record contains fields.

Let’s make another table.
I’ll demonstrate how to set up a basic table. This table will list some of the baskets that you sell...
![Page 23: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Data entered. What’s next?
Let’s take a look at two ways we can make our data more useful and more accessible. Sort Filter
![Page 24: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sorting
Have you ever wanted to find a name in the Phone Book? It’s easy, right?
Names in the Phone Book are alphabetized, or sorted, by last name, then first name. How can we accomplish this is our electronic database?
What if we don’t care about our records being alphabetized by name? Maybe we want to sort by city or state?
![Page 25: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Let’s Sort
Follow along as I show you some ways to sort data in our table...click on the link below.
http://www.screencast.com/t/Mzg2NTQyMmE
![Page 26: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Now you try Sorting...
Click the words “Student Database” to open another sample database; now open the table “Customers”. Try to sort the Last Name column in “ascending”. Now sort it “descending”. Do you see it change? Now sort the city or state. If you want to, you can
sort the last name again. Close the database when you are done. Does it ask
you if you want to save the changes? Click “no” and close it. Let’s understand why...
![Page 27: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
“Save changes to design?”
When you entered data (name, address, city, state) into your table, it “saved” as soon as you entered it.
In Access, you do not need to click “save” to save the data you enter.
On the other hand, when you sort or filter data, you are changing the “design” of your table.
You will always be asked if you want to save the changes to your design. Usually you can answer “no” because it probably doesn’t matter how it is sorted, and, saving a “filter” can make data appear to be missing when you come back to it later.
Click “review” to review sorting. Review
![Page 28: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Filter
Finding a name that is alphabetized in the Phone Book may be easy, but what if you weren’t sure of the name?
What if you only knew the first few letters? Or only knew the first name?
How about if you wanted ALL the names in a certain city?
This is when a technique called filtering is extremely useful.
![Page 29: ELECTRONIC FILE MANAGEMENT by Debbie Young Electronic what? Electronic File Management…what is it?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f155503460f94c2a25b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Let’s Filter
Follow along as I show you some ways to filter data in our table...click on the link below.

Now you try Filtering...
Click the words “Student Database” to open another sample database; now open the table “Customers”. Apply a filter to look for records from the City of
Lansing. Do you only see “Lansing” records? How many do you have?
Now “unfilter”. Play with it...apply the filter to other fields. When you are done, close the table and database.
Remember: do not save changes.
