Every table in the console is built from the same parts, so a table behaves the same way wherever you meet one: the request log, the team list, the models list and the rest. This page covers the behaviour they share: selecting cells and rows, editing and pasting, keeping or discarding changes, reading totals from the footer, and moving through pages of rows.
Each part has its own page: The table toolbar for the controls above a table, Table cells and editing for the cell itself, and Table filtering, sorting and search for finding rows.
A table is set up for one of two selection styles: row selection (checkboxes, dragging, or both) or Excel-like cell selection. They do not mix in one table. Where a table offers row selection, the table toolbar carries a Selection mode menu with Checkbox, Drag, Both and None.
System columns can't be modified
(Table cells and editing).Excel-like cell selection works as it does in a spreadsheet:
A sort, a filter change or a new search clears the selection. With cells selected in two or more rows, you can stack those rows as comparison cards (Compare rows).
In a table that allows editing, double-click a cell to change it, or press Enter while it is selected. Enter, or clicking away, saves the change; Escape cancels it. A checkbox cell needs no edit step: one click flips its value and saves it. Which editors each kind of cell offers, and the formats values display in, are on Table cells and editing.
To fill several cells at once, copy the block you want, select a single cell as the target and press
Ctrl/Cmd+V. Each line of the pasted text becomes a row and each tab-separated value a cell. Only
editable cells take the values. If the paste reaches past the last row and the table allows adding
rows, it creates them, showing Pasting data. while it fills the cells and Creating new rows.
as it adds the new ones; a long paste runs with a progress panel that counts the rows as they are
applied.
The table holds your changes as you work and keeps a draft of them: unsaved edits survive a refresh, and the draft is kept for 24 hours (see Table preferences and drafts). Rows you add wait at the bottom of every page until they are saved; sorting and filtering leave them alone. While such rows are waiting to be saved, the toolbar shows Save N unsaved row(s), where N counts the waiting rows, and Discard unsaved changes. The first saves the waiting rows; the second drops them.
If you leave the page while added rows are still unsaved, the console asks first. The Unsaved Changes prompt counts your changes and warns that continuing reverts them all; choose Discard & Continue to leave and revert, or Stay on Page to stay. Edits to existing rows on their own do not trigger the prompt.
Long tables show one page of rows at a time. The pager under the table moves you to the first, previous, next and last page, and shows which rows are on screen and which page you are on.
The Rows per page: control sets the page size. A standard table starts at 50 rows and offers 50, 100, 500 and 1000, plus All where the table offers it. A table whose pages load from the platform, such as the request log, offers 100, 200 and 500 rows, starts at 100, and holds at most 500 rows in a page.
A sort, a filter change or a new search returns the table to its first page.
While cells are selected, the table's footer summarises the selection: how many cells it holds, how many rows they touch, and how many distinct values they contain. When every non-empty cell in the selection holds a number, the footer also shows the sum and the average; a single non-numeric value hides both.
Click and drag across the cells, or hold Ctrl/Cmd while clicking to add single cells one by one. To extend with the keyboard, hold Shift and press an arrow key.
Hold Ctrl/Cmd and click the column header: the whole visible column is selected. Clicking another header the same way adds it to the selection.
A sort, a filter change or a new search clears the selection. Once the table settles, select the cells again.
A sort, a filter change or a new search returns the table to its first page. Move to the page you need again.
Use Rows per page: under the table. A standard table starts at 50 rows and offers 50, 100, 500 and 1000, with All where the table offers it. A table whose pages load from the platform, such as the request log, offers 100, 200 and 500 and starts at 100.
It is a locked row: the table keeps it, so it cannot be selected. A lock icon takes the place of its
checkbox, and hovering the icon explains why, for example System columns can't be modified.
Copy the block of values, select a single cell as the target, and press Ctrl/Cmd+V. Lines become rows
and tabs split the values into cells, and only editable cells take a value. If the paste reaches past
the last row and the table allows adding rows, it adds them, showing Pasting data..
The console asks first when added rows are still unsaved: Discard & Continue leaves the page and reverts your changes, and Stay on Page keeps you where you are. Edits to existing rows alone do not trigger the prompt; they stay as a draft.
While rows you added are waiting to be saved, the toolbar shows Save N unsaved row(s), where N counts them, and Discard unsaved changes. Use the first to save the waiting rows and the second to drop them.
They summarise the selection: the number of cells, the number of rows they touch, and the number of distinct values in it. When every non-empty cell holds a number, the sum and the average appear as well; one non-numeric value hides both.
The table has no rows to show for its current search and filters. Clear the search or adjust the
filters to bring rows back. Some tables use their own wording, and in card view the message reads
Oops.
