Tables

The properties that entities in your model carry can also be listed into tables (both regular properties and custom ones). To that end, the Tables panel can be found on the left in the editor.

Creating a table

To create a new table, click the + button. Once created, a table can be displayed in full screen mode, to allow for a smoother browsing experience.

Alternatively, a table containing empty cells that can be edited manually, can be created directly on the canvas by using the Table TA tool.

Curating a table

Inside the table panel, a table can then be curated to display various entity types, properties, and to display information using grouping/sorting/filtering.

Choosing entity types to display

To begin with, you can choose what type of entities to list inside your table.

Adding properties

Click on the + button at the top-right of your table to add new properties to the table.

Sorting & filtering

You may sort the table alphabetically based on a given column. You may filter each column to only show the elements matching a given filter.

Grouping

You can also arrange tables by group. Groups can be based upon any given property.

Inserting a table

Once created inside the table panel, a table can be inserted on the canvas, by clicking on Insert. This will create a table object, that can then be resized, formatted, and restyled to match your presentation's design.

Exporting a table

You may also export your tables at any time in .csv or .xlsx formats using the Export button.
