Displaying Nested Attributes in a Table View
You can display the details of nested attributes as a table.
In the Profiles view, nested attributes are presented as a table. This makes it easy to visualize and compare complex data. You can customize the table in the following ways.
- Add or remove fields in the table,
- Filter records in the table,
- Resize the columns,
- Sort the rows,
Add or Remove Rows
The header of the table has a gear widget on its right side.
- Press down on the gear widget until the scrollable list of fields
appears.
Do either of the following:
- Add a Field: Click to the left of a field name to add a checkmark to the left of the field.
The check marked fields are shown as columns in the table.
- Remove a field: Click an existing checkmark.
Filter on one or more Fields
- Click the funnel icon in the header
.
An entry area appears below each field.
- Place the insertion point in a field's entry area.
Two blank areas appear below the field's name.
The first area is a drop-down list of comparison operators. "Equals" is selected.
- If that is your choice, enter the criterion value to its right.
The following image shows how to filter on this field.
- If it isn't your choice, hold down the mouse to reveal the choices of comparison
operators.
- Choose the desired comparison operator from the drop-down, enter a value into the criterion area, and press Enter.
Filter on any Field that "starts with" any String

An entry area appears above the columns.
