Table Tools

Many of the tables in NetSight Atlas Console provide a set of tools that let you customize table settings and help you find, filter, sort, print, and export information in tables. You access Table Tools, either through a right mouse click on a column heading or anywhere in the table body, or by clicking the Table Tools  button in the upper left corner of the table (if you have the row count column displayed). Right-click menu options can include the following selections, depending on the table currently being viewed:

• Find - places the Find toolbar at the top of the table.
• Filter - places the Filter toolbar at the top of the table.
• Sort - places the Sort toolbar at the top of the table.
• Insert Row - adds a row above the selected row.
• Delete Row(s) - removes the selected row(s) from the table.
• Auto Export - places the Auto Export toolbar at the top of the table.
