What is a Tabular View?

A tabular view shows selected resource table attributes from multiple records in a result set, each attribute being displayed in a separate column. A result set may consist of many records, so you can set the maximum number of records to be displayed at any one time. This means that the view may consist of a number of pages. You can jump to any of the available pages by entering the required page number or use Next and Previous buttons to step through the available pages one at a time.

The check boxes next to the record number in the left-hand Record column allow you to select one or more records for an action. You can use the Select all (Select all) and Deselect all (Deselect all) icons to select or deselect all of the records that match your selection criteria. You can also combine the Select all icon, Select all, and the check boxes in the Record column to select all, then deselect a few.

The Sort ascending (Sort ascending) and Sort descending (Sort descending) icons under the column title indicate that the contents of the column can be sorted in either ascending or descending order. See Sorting a Tabular View for details.

The Summarize icon, Summarize, under a column title indicates that the column can be used to summarize the data in the view. See Summarizing a View for details.

Note: The fields to be used for sorting and summarizing a tabular view are defined when the view is created using the View Editor.

Some attribute values may appear as links to other views. Clicking a link usually displays related information, for example, more information about the resource or related resources.
