Table Tab

The Table tab is where you can explore your dataset query results without altering the source data of any associated workbook visualizations and without having to set a layout. Any fields that are included in the underlying dataset appear in the Dataset Panel on the left. To build your table, drag fields from the Dataset Panel to the Viewer.

You can create multiple table views in a single workbook using the dataset query results.

For information about how to explore your data in a table view, see Workbook Table Views.

The elements of the Table View tab are identified in the image below:
