Create a table view

A table View sets which columns the Results table shows, in what order, and how each one is formatted. Views are shared across the Account, so everyone can load the same tables, and you can pin the ones a Project uses most.

Before you start

Select a Programme and a Project in the header. Until you do, the Results page shows "No Programme Selected" or "No Project Selected".

Create a View

  1. In the sidebar, under Visualisation & Data, click Results.
  2. On the Table View card, click Edit Table. The Configure Columns dialog opens.
  3. Choose your columns from the tabs, and arrange them in Selected Columns (see choose columns).
  4. Click Apply. The table updates, but the View isn't saved yet.
  5. Optionally, click the cog icon next to Edit Table to set formatting in Column Options, then click Apply (see format columns).
  6. Click the save icon next to Select Table. With no View loaded, this opens Create New View.
  7. Enter a Description (see the rules below) and click Create New View.

The Description is the View's name. It's required, can be up to 100 characters, and must be unique among the Views in the Programme. Otherwise you'll see "this field is required", "must be 100 characters or less" or "this name already exists".

Warning

There's no unsaved-changes warning. If you load another View before saving, your changes are lost.

Choose columns

The Configure Columns dialog has one tab per kind of value: Forces, Moments, Monitors, Balances, Areas, Parameters, Thermal, Probes, Other, Calculations, Zones and Comments. The tabs list what exists in the Programme.

  • Force and monitor tabs: pick from the lists at the top, for example Select Variables and Select Zones (or Select Directions on Balances). Each list has a filter box, and an expand icon that opens a larger picker. A grid of buttons then shows every matching value. Click a button to add or remove that column; selected buttons are highlighted.
  • Parameters: Attitude parameters and Map parameters.
  • Calculations: your Project's custom calculations. See add a custom calculation.
  • Comments: text columns. See text columns below.

Arrange the selected columns

The Selected Columns panel on the right lists the table's columns in order.

  • Drag a column to reorder it.
  • Remove a column with its red X.
  • Freeze keeps a column in place while you scroll sideways. Frozen columns must come first and be consecutive: if they aren't, the panel shows "Frozen columns must be first" and Apply is disabled. Unfreezing a column also unfreezes every frozen column after it.
  • Minimise narrows a column. Hide removes it from the table without removing it from the View (it's shown struck through).
  • Hide Edit Column hides the pencil column used to edit a row's description and comment.

The standard columns are always in the View. You can hide, minimise or freeze them, but not remove them:

Column Default Shows
Name Frozen The Attitude name, linked to its Run. Minimised, it shows the Run number, e.g. R12
Description Frozen The Attitude description. Minimised, it shows a dot; hover over it to read the text
Status The Attitude's status. Click it to see the Attitude's progress
Reports Minimised Reports that include the Attitude
Comment Minimised The Attitude's comment. Can be wrapped
Annotations Upload or view annotated images

Cells with no value show -. Click a column header to sort by it. The table is sorted by Name by default.

Format columns

Click the cog icon next to Edit Table to open Column Options. There's one row per data, parameter or calculation column. Change what you need and click Apply.

Option Does
Column Header Renames the column in the table
Inverse Value Changes the sign of the value
Percentage Value Multiplies by 100 and adds %. Only available for balance and extra-metric columns
Emphasise Column Shows the values in bold
Color Scale None, Green to Red or Red to Green. See below
Inline Delta Hide, Show, Positive Green | Negative Red or Positive Red | Negative Green. See compare against a baseline
Percentage Delta Shows the delta as a percentage of the baseline value
Rounding Type Significant Figures or Decimal Places
Rounding Digits 0 to 8
Scaling Factor 0 or more. Multiplies the value and its delta. Not applied when Percentage Value is on

New columns start with 3 decimal places, a scaling factor of 1, no colour scale and Inline Delta set to Hide. Balance and extra-metric columns start with Percentage Value on.

Colour scales colour each cell by where its value sits between the column's lowest and highest value:

  • Green to Red: the highest value is green and the lowest is red.
  • Red to Green: the lowest value is green and the highest is red.

The range only covers the rows loaded in the table, so the colours can change when you load more results. A colour scale overrides any row colour in that column.

Column Options are part of the View. Save the View to keep them.

Save, copy and share Views

Every View is visible to everyone in the Account. When you save a View, you change it for all Users.

  • Save changes: with a View loaded, click the save icon. Save Existing View opens; click Save View.
  • Save as a new View: click the copy icon next to Select Table. Create New View opens with your current columns. The copy icon is disabled until a View is loaded.

When you save an existing View, Bramble warns you:

Situation Message
You created the View "This will overwrite the settings for all Users, are you sure you want to proceed?"
You changed the description "Saving now will update the description of this View for all Users"
Another User created it, and you're an admin "This View was created by another User, are you sure you want to overwrite it for all Users?"
Another User created it, and you're not an admin "This View was created by another User, you do not have permission to overwrite it." Save View is disabled

If you can't overwrite a View, save your changes as a new View with the copy icon.

A View doesn't save a delta baseline. That's set separately each time.

Load, pin and set a Project default

Click Select Table to open Load Table View. Click any View to load it.

Area Contains
Project Default The View that loads when anyone opens this Project's results. Clear from default removes it
Available View Filters A Programme filter for Available Views. Defaults to the current Programme
Pinned Views Views pinned to this Project. Drag them to change their order
Available Views Every other View, with who created it
  • Pin a View with its pin icon. Pinned Views appear as buttons above the table, in the order set here, so you can switch between them with one click. Click the active button again to clear the table.
  • Set as default makes a View the Project default.

Pins and defaults are per Project, so the same View can be pinned in one Project and not another.

When you open a Project's results, Bramble loads the Project default. If there isn't one, it loads the View you last used in that Project.

Delete a View

  1. Click Select Table.
  2. Click the delete icon on the View's row. A lock icon instead means you didn't create it: only its creator or an admin can delete it.
  3. In Delete Results View, click Delete.

A View that a Sandbox uses can't be deleted ("Failed to delete results view"). Remove it from the Sandbox first.

Text columns

Text columns hold your own notes alongside the results, such as an aim, a conclusion or next steps. Add them to a View on the Comments tab of Configure Columns. See add text columns.

Select rows

Selected rows drive the Plots, Available Postpro and export features. Click a row to select it. The Selection Mode: dropdown sets what else a click selects:

Mode Selects
Single Row Just that row (the default)
Row & Baseline The row and its Run baseline Attitude
Matching Assemblies Every loaded row with exactly the same Assemblies
Select Run Every loaded row in the same Run

Deselecting a row in a mode deselects the same set. You can also right-click a row and choose Select, Select + Baseline, Select + Same Assemblies or Select Run. The same menu has the delta-baseline options and View Run Model.

If a filter hides some of the rows you're selecting, Bramble asks whether to select the hidden rows anyway.

Other toolbar buttons:

  • Select All / Deselect All: selects the visible rows.
  • Show Selected Only / Show All.
  • Hide Completed / Hide Incomplete. Attitudes waiting for sign-off count as completed.

To filter the table, see filter results.

Colour rows

  1. Click the palette icon on the toolbar. Set Row Colors opens.
  2. Select Color, then pick the Attitudes under Select Attitudes, or use Apply to All Visible.
  3. Click Apply Colors.

Row colours are stored with the results, so everyone sees them. Clear All Visible removes them.

Load more results

The table loads results in batches. The batch size is your Default Batch Size in User Settings, 15 unless you change it.

  • Scroll to the bottom of the table, or click Load More, to load the next batch.
  • The Load More menu has Load 10, Load 50, Load 100 and Load All.

Select All, filters and colour scales only work on the loaded rows.

Load results by date

To see results that finished solving in a date range, across Projects:

  1. Click Load By Date.
  2. Choose a Date Range: Last Day, Last Week, Last Month or Custom.
  3. Choose a Project Selection: All in Programme, Current Only or Custom (then pick the Projects).
  4. Click Load.

The heading changes to "Completed Results - <from> to <to>". Click the red X next to Load By Date to go back to the Project's results.
