Finding records

The find feature in Retable allows you to swiftly search for specific text within your table, making it easier to navigate through large datasets and pinpoint the exact information you need.

How to find records:

• Click on the "Find" option located on the top toolbar of your table or simply use the shortcut Cmd/CTRL + F to open the Find field.
• Enter the word or phrase you wish to search for in the provided text box. This feature will highlight and navigate you through occurrences of your search term within the table.
• Use the "Enter" key or the navigation arrows within the find tool to cycle through the search results, allowing you to quickly review all instances of your query.

Replacing records

Once you’ve located the data, Retable’s Replace feature enables you to update individual or multiple instances of that data, facilitating efficient data management and ensuring consistency across your table.

How to replace records:

• After finding the desired data, activate the Replace function in the find tool to modify the located data.
• Use the "Replace" option to change the currently highlighted occurrence of the found data with your new specified text.
• If you need to update all instances of the found data within your table, use the "Replace All" option. This action will substitute every occurrence of the search term with the new data you provide.

Filtering records

Filtering enables you to display only the records that meet certain criteria, making it easier to focus on specific segments of your data or to find particular records quickly.

How to filter records:

• Click the “Filter” icon to start defining your criteria.
• Select the column to filter, then choose the condition (like “is,” “contains,” “is before,” etc.) and specify the value or values to filter by.
• Add multiple filters if needed, specifying whether they should work together as “AND” conditions or “OR” conditions.
• Deactivate filters without deleting them using the eye icon, lock them to prevent changes in shared views, or remove them entirely with the trash icon. You can also apply multiple filters and use them together.
