Working with tables

Almost every screen in Masto Control is a table, and they all behave the same way. Learn it once here rather than on each page.

Sorting​

Click a column heading to sort by it: once for ascending, again for descending, a third time to go back to the table's own order. The same is available from the column menu.

The column menu​

Hover a column heading and a ⋮ button appears on its right. It opens the menu every table has:

The column menu: sort, filter, hide, manage columns

  • Sort by ASC / Sort by DESC — the same as clicking the heading
  • Filter — opens the filter panel, described below
  • Hide column — takes that column off the screen
  • Manage columns — shows every column with a checkbox, so you can hide several at once, search for one by name, or press Reset to bring them all back

Manage columns: everything the table can show, with what is currently shown

Filtering​

The filter panel asks three things: which column, which operator, and the value.

Which operators you get depends on the column:

  • Text — contains, equals, starts with, ends with, is empty, is not empty, is any of
  • Numbers and money — =, !=, >, >=, <, <=, plus is empty / is not empty
  • Status and category columns — is, is not, is any of, choosing from the values that column actually has

A decimal comma works as well as a point: typing >1,5 and >1.5 mean the same thing.

To clear a filter, press the ✕ at the left of the filter panel.

What is remembered​

Sorting, the filter and the hidden columns are remembered per table and per user, on the computer you are using. Come back tomorrow and the list is arranged the way you left it. Column widths and order are remembered the same way.

If a table looks emptier than expected, check whether a filter is still on from last time — the column menu's filter panel shows what is currently applied.
