3.2 Working with Tables

Tables are the primary way MultiProbe displays monitoring objects, templates, and alarm states. Understanding how tables work will make navigating the interface significantly easier.

Table Structure

A table consists of rows and columns. Each row is a list element — a monitoring object, template, or configuration entry. Each column represents a parameter of that element.

List elements fall into two categories:

  • System elements — marked with system icon. These are built-in entries that cannot be edited directly, but can be copied to create custom elements.
  • User elements — created and edited freely by users.

Element Status

Each element has one of two statuses — Enabled or Disabled — shown in the leftmost column:

  • enabled — the object is active
  • The absence of the icon indicates the object is disabled

Group Functions

The toolbar above the list provides buttons for performing actions on multiple selected elements at once. To use a group function, check the boxes in the far-left column of the desired rows, then click the appropriate button.

Button Description
Enable Activates selected objects
Disable Deactivates selected objects
Change presets Opens a window to batch-edit settings for selected objects
Delete Deletes selected objects
Hidden objects Toggles visibility of filtered-out objects

Status Bar

The status bar at the bottom of every table shows summary information:

Field Description
Total Total number of elements in the list
Filtered Number of elements currently hidden by a filter
Hidden columns Number of columns not currently shown
Selected Number of currently selected elements

Refreshing and Configuring the Table

To manually refresh the list, click refresh.

To configure which columns are visible and how data is sorted, click settings to open the list configuration window.

Info

Column visibility, filters, and sort order are saved per user — each user's configuration is independent.

The configuration window provides the following options:

  • Enable all — show all available columns
  • Disable all — hide all columns
  • Search — find a column by name
  • Column checklist — select which columns to display
  • Recognize filter history — preserve active filters between sessions
  • Recognize sort history — preserve the active sort order between sessions

Local Menu

Some list items have a local menu — indicated by a symbol in the far-left column. Click local menu to open it. The local menu provides context-specific actions for that item, such as Edit, Delete, or Dashboard.
