NB – this list tells you where the Plugins will be displayed, in a drop-down menu or toolbar.

You will see the active Plugin menu/toolbar icons appear in a row across your screen

Use the Table Manager to create or delete fields in the database, or move them up/down. This is where you specify the form of data, be it numerical or text (an integer, real or a string).
