### 5.5.3. The Data Sets View

The Data Sets View is in the lower right-hand corner of the Functional Test Specification Perspective by default. It lets you add, modify, delete and see any data for Test Cases. For each Test Case containing references or for each central test data set, you can add data sets in this view. When data in the Data Sets View are uneditable, they are shown in gray. Values in black may be edited.

To make entering data easier, pressing »ENTER« will spring to the next cell or row, or to the ”Add” button if no more rows have been added. The »Tab« key springs to the ”Add” button.

To simplify navigation, the toolbar of the Data Sets View contains the Jump to Central Test Data Set command. If the currently selected cell references a central data set through a ?getCentralTestDataSetValue function call (see in Section 3.14.6, “Using functions as data for Test Cases”) then this command tries to identify the data set and opens its Editor. In case the referenced row and cell are identifiable, these are automatically selected in the Data Sets View (Section 5.5.3, “The Data Sets View”).

The toolbar also contains the Show Where Used CTDS command. This can be used when a certain cell of a Central Test Data Set is selected. In this case all resolvable references through the ?getCentralTestDataSetValue function call are found, and listed in the Search Result View. Please note that only the literal references are found (e.g. those which do not use parameters, variables or other function calls).
