Data Explorer Embedded in 4D

Data Explorer allows you to view the data in your database. You can choose which fields to display, organize, filter, and sort the data.

With 4D v20, the Data Explorer can be opened in 4D instead of an external browser. Users can access the Data Explorer directly from the toolbar with just one click, saving time and improving productivity.

New icon

A new icon is available in the main toolbar to open the Data Explorer with a single click. 

If you prefer to open the Data Explorer in a browser, you can always hold the “Alt” key on Windows or “Option” on macOS when you click the Data button.
You can also use the menu item: “Record/Data Explorer” or “Record/Data Explorer in the browser”

The shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+D” on Windows and “Cmd+Shift+D” on macOS allows you to open the Data Explorer in 4D. Moreover, to open the Data Explorer in the default browser, you can define your own shortcut.
