Rows¶

The Rows panel is a comprehensive view of your tabular data, divided into rows and columns. The exact contents of those rows and columns will depend on the view being displayed. Depending on the context, each row in the Rows panel might represent a revision of a dataset, a Run, a sample in a dataset, or an inference pass over a sample. In the following example, the Rows panel is populated with the metrics of a Run, where each row represents one inference pass over one sample.

Selecting rows¶

The selected rows are indicated by green outlines around the rows. Some selecting operations include:

  • Click a row to select the row

  • CTRL + click to select multiple rows

  • CTRL + click on a selected row to unselect the row

  • SHIFT + click to select consecutive rows

  • Press up/down arrow to select previous/next row

  • Press CTRL + up/down arrow to select previous/next sample (skip the rows of the same sample if multiple epochs recorded)

  • Click the Select all icon (square with check mark) or press A to select all rows

  • Click the Clear selection icon (empty square) or press SHIFT + A or press ESC to unselect all rows

At the top of the Rows panel, you can see how many rows are currently selected at any time, as well as how many rows match the current filter criteria and hence are shown in the table.

Selecting columns¶

The selected columns are indicated by green outlines around the column and green backgrounds on the column’s header. To select a column, click the column’s header. To select multiple columns, hold CTRL while clicking the column headers. Consecutive columns are selected by holding SHIFT while clicking the column headers. Press left/right arrow to select an adjacent column. To unselect a column, click that column while holding CTRL.

ESC: Unselecting in Dashboard

ESC is a universal hotkey to unselect items including rows, columns, and array elements in a cell in the Rows panel, and charts and array elements (e.g., BBs) in a chart in the Charts panel. If multiple items are selected across the charts and the table at a point, pressing ESC unselects the items in this priority: (1) array elements (e.g., BBs in a chart), (2) rows, and (3) columns and charts. SHIFT+A is equivalent to ESC.

Note that you can always unselect a specific item by CTRL + clicking on the item.

Sorting¶

Most columns in the Metrics/Example panel can be used to sort the rows. When hovering over a column header, a – symbol will appear to the right of the column’s name. Clicking – once will sort the table on the column in ascending order (indicated by ), clicking it again will sort it in descending order (indicated by ), and clicking it one more time will reset the sorting.

Sorting on multiple columns can be done by sorting the first column as above and then holding CTRL while sorting another column. The second sorted column is indicated by double or double symbol. For multi-sorting, the earlier sorted column has priority.

Hiding/showing columns¶

You may want to hide some columns if the Rows panel gets too crowded. Any column can be hidden or shown. To hide a column, RightClick on the column’s header and click Hide -> Selected column in the popup menu, or press H after selecting a column, or directly MiddleClick on a column header. You can hide multiple columns at once by selecting multiple columns followed by the hiding operation. You can also hide unselected columns by clicking Hide -> Other columns in the popup menu or pressing SHIFT + H.

To show a hidden column, click the wrench icon on the table’s toolbar and click the eye icon next to the column’s name in the popup menu. Column names with an open eye are those that are shown, whereas those with a closed eye are hidden. Note: some columns’ names may be nested in another column as indicated by an arrow. For example, the Image column is nested in the Example ID.

Showing or hiding a column can also be done in the Filters panel. Find the column’s name you want to show or hide. To hide a column that is currently shown, click the open eye icon that shows when hovering over the column filter’s title bar.

To show a hidden column, click the closed eye icon on the column filter’s title bar.

Note that showing or hiding columns from the Filters panel will show or hide the columns in the metrics table, but the corresponding filters are always displayed in the Filters panel.

Re-ordering columns¶

To re-order a column, you can drag and drop the column header to a desired location. All available locations for the column are marked by a dark yellow bar when you start to drag the column.

Note: The order of the filters in the Filters panel is aligned with the order of the corresponding columns in the Rows panel. Therefore, re-ordering columns will also result in re-ordering filters.

Copying values¶

To copy values from the Rows panel, (multi-)select the columns and rows that you want to copy the values from, then RightClick on one of the selected rows to bring up the popup menu, and select Copy values as CSV, JSON, or raw text format. The values will be copied to the clipboard, which can be pasted into other files.

Grid View¶

To change the Metrics/Examples panel from list view to grid view, click the Grid view icon on the panel’s toolbar. Click the List view icon to go back to the list view. The grid size or table row size can be adjusted via the slider next to it.

Column values can be overlaid on the images in grid view. Click the Configure/add columns wrench icon to choose columns to display on the images. The screenshot below has a categorical Label column toggled on.

Creating new editable columns¶

In the Metrics panel for a Run or the Examples panel for a Table, you are able to create and edit an editable column. The values in an editable column are in white, whereas those in a uneditable column are in grey.

Create an editable column¶

On the Metrics/Examples panel toolbar, click the Configure/add columns wrench icon to bring up the menu, and select a column type you want to add when hovering over Create column.

Specify a name for the column and click OK.

Edit an editable column¶

The string column named Tag is added in the metrics table, and you are able to edit the cell values. Type in a value and press Enter to complete the editing. To assign the same value to a number of rows, you can select these rows before assigning the value to one of the selected rows. The edited cells have a yellow background.
