The Grid panel is a shared space along the bottom of the main viewer page for the five data grids: Routines, Features, Samples, Processes and Results. Use the grid headers to navigate between grids. Click on a Grid header to go to the specific grid. The active grid is indicated with different color. If the grid panel is currently collapsed, clicking any of the grid headers will expand the grid panel.
Grid Panels - Collapsed
If the Processes or Results grids appear to be missing specific data types, check your current selections in the Samples panel or selected Sieve. You may have settings applied that do not include those feature types or characteristics.
The grids are located at the bottom of the screen and can be expanded or collapsed as needed:
- Click on a Grid Header to open the grid panel; the header selected is the active grid in the panel.
- If the grid panel is already expanded, click a different grid header to switch to that grid.
- Click above the upper right corner of the grids to collapse the grid panel.

Grid Controls
The grids have several built-in controls for finding or arranging data. All grid column headers can be used to sort, search or group data; some columns have an additional filter option.
Right-click on the grid header for menu options.
Filter Column
Columns can be filtered to narrow down the data in the grids to specific types, according to the selected column. Click in the grid header to open the Filter options.
Filter popups are dynamic based on the column contents.
Group by Column
Columns may be grouped in order to organize the grid rows into a structural hierarchy. Each column that is grouped is designated as a node in the hierarchal tree and each successive column grouped is added as a subordinate of the previous column.
Grid grouped by Column, with Feature rows collapsed.
Grid grouped by column, with one Feature row expanded.
Search in Column
To search for something within a specific column, enter the string in the search field. This filtering is dynamic and will update the grid as you type. Each column can be searched with different text, but keep in mind that this search is composite, so if you type text into more than one column the data row must match all search strings in order to appear in the list.
