View
The View option exports the data in the selected data object and executes the editor associated with the object’s mime type in view-only mode.
When working in ASCII View, you can edit the data without encountering an error message but cannot save the edits in the Contenta database. If changes are made to the data, you are prompted when you exit to indicate whether the changes should be saved to your hard drive .
Select one of the following.
- Yes to save the changes. A Save As window appears. The default save directory is the Tmp directory in the directory path where Contenta is installed. The default filename is the object name with an application generated object ID number as the file extension.
- No to discard the changes and exit the ASCII Editor.
- Cancel to return to the ASCII Editor.
