Table Browser
The table browser displays tabular data and enables you to perform standard operations including selecting and copying cells, reordering columns, and saving and printing the table. See the topic Selecting cells and columns for more information. These are the same operations that you can carry out when previewing the data in a node.
Exporting table data. You can export data from the table browser by choosing:
See the topic Exporting Output for more information.
Data is exported in the system default encoding format, which is specified in the Windows Control Panel or, if running in distributed mode, on the server computer.
Searching the table. The search button (with the binoculars icon) on the main toolbar activates the search toolbar, enabling you to search the table for specific values. You can search forward or backward in the table, you can specify a case-sensitive search (the Aa button), and you can interrupt a search-in-progress with the interrupt search button.
Generating new nodes. The Generate menu contains node generation operations.
- Select Node ("Records"). Generates a Select node that selects the records for which any cell in the table is selected.
- Select ("And"). Generates a Select node that selects records containing all of the values selected in the table.
- Select ("Or"). Generates a Select node that selects records containing any of the values selected in the table.
- Derive ("Records"). Generates a Derive node to create a new flag field. The flag field contains T for records for which any cell in the table is selected and F for the remaining records.
- Derive ("And"). Generates a Derive node to create a new flag field. The flag field contains T for records containing all of the values selected in the table and F for the remaining records.
- Derive ("Or"). Generates a Derive node to create a new flag field. The flag field contains T for records containing any of the values selected in the table and F for the remaining records.
