Tables

Tables in Dimsum have a standard set of controls added above and/or below the table.

Sorting

Tables can be sorted by clicking the dropdown next to the sort icon at the top left of the table and selecting the desired option. Sort options will differ depending on the table.

Sorting controls

Filtering

Tables can be filtered based on different criteria depending on the table. To apply a filter, click the "+ filter" dropdown and select the type of filter you wish to apply. Some filter types will prompt you to select a value from a dropdown, while others may require you to enter text to make your selection. Applying any filters will automatically refresh the page with entries that follow all the filter requirements.

Filtering controls

Multiple filters can be applied to a table. Filters of the same type will be treated as "OR" conditions, while different filter types function as "AND" conditions. For example, you can view all cases with a WGTS assay and involving either the PROA or PROB projects by applying the following filters.

  • Assay: WGTS
  • Project: PROA
  • Project: PROB

To remove a filter, click the 'x' on its label to the left of the "+ filter" button.

Following the selection of filters, the URL in the browser's address bar is updated. This can be bookmarked to save a set of filters that you use frequently, or copied to share with other users.

Pagination

Adjust the number of entries in the table by clicking on the "Items per page" drop down at the top right of the table and selecting the number of entries you'd like to see.

Page controls

Move between pages in the table using the "<" (previous) and ">" (next) buttons that appear at both the top right and bottom right of the table.

Action Buttons

Action buttons are included below some tables, allowing you to work with the tables or the items within them. Some of the actions require a selection. You can select items in the table using the checkboxes in the left-most column.
