Since EagleData is a Mac program there should be no manual necessary, as mac-users don't read manuals anyway. For those of you who can't live without one, here is a short reference:

EagleData menu-reference:

A layout is a specific view at your data. You can have many different layouts for a database.
E.g. if you have an address database you can have a "phonebook" layout where only the names and phonenumbers are shown in addition to the standard layout.
You can easily switch between layouts using the popup menu in the database window.

Delete layout

Set value
Lets you insert/append a value in/to all currently selected records.
