Icons in the table window

Open objects via clipboard

Moves all displayed objects in the table to a temporary storage location and immediately opens the (standard) workspace of the first object. Thanks to this function, you do not always have to create folders in Explorer for your analyses.

In the clipboard, for example, you can navigate through the objects in the clipboard and their workspaces using the key combinations <CTRL>+<picture UP> or <CTRL>+<picture DOWN>.
If necessary, read the chapter Shelves.

Grouped display

The "Grouped display" icon toggles between grouped and ungrouped display.

Alternatively, you can find this function on the "Table" tab in the "View options" icon menu.

Group column

The "Group column" icon adds the currently selected column as a grouping column. Alternatively, you can find the command GROUP COLUMNS in the context menu of the columns.

Opening and closing

The icon opens or closes grouped blocks, the lines within a block are hidden or shown again. If there are several grouping levels, these are closed one after the other.

Adjust column width

Adjusts the width of the selected columns depending on the respective content.

If you have changed the table layout, e.g. added new columns or changed the font, you should click on this icon. The table is then rebuilt.

Refresh view

Does not recalculate the entire table, but only the entries that are affected by previous changes (e.g. parameters). The speed is therefore sometimes faster than with the "Re-evaluate" icon in the quick access toolbar.

If you have displayed the parameter and filter field, you can also update the view using the icon located there.
