Grid

Concept​

The Grid is a dynamic and customisable grid listing all communications matching your filters.

You may:

  • Select the data to show
  • Resize columns to see better
  • Reorder columns
  • Filter & sort on data
  • Open unitary communications
  • Select and add coms throughout your searches (as a shopping basket)
  • Compare two or more coms
  • Export selected coms in Excel or JSON

The grid uses infinite scroll for pagination

  • Use filtering rather than scrolling down ;-)

Columns selection and ordering​

TagColumnsDisabled.png

The Select columns icon opens the columns selection popin.

You may:

  • Search for a column
  • Select what columns to display
    • A tooltip explains what is the data displayed for almost each column
  • Reorder columns
note

Some columns may be disabled:

  • They are displaying extracted tag values, count or cardinality
  • But those tags are not extracted on all Whisperers
  • If you have selected such a column to display before, it will appear in your list, but disabled on Whisperers not extracting this tag
  • This avoids messy behaviors when reordering columns

Selecting records​

In the grid, yuu may select records in order to:

  • Compare records
  • Export records to Excel

Records selection is independent of search or view changes:

  1. Search
  2. Browse for records
  3. Select them
  4. Search again
  5. Find other records
  6. Select them
  7. Click to see only selected items
  8. And then view, compare or export them

Filters​

The list offers easy access to filters in the header.
Those filters are exactly the same as in the menu. Only faster to access to.

  1. The filter icon appear when moving the mouse over the header.
  2. On click, a popin shows the values list or the distribution histogram.
