Table view
Table mode shows a map’s nodes as rows in a grid, so you can check and fix many nodes at once. It’s most useful after an import, when hundreds of rows might have a typo or a wrong value. Switch to it from the mode menu in the top bar.
What’s in the grid
Section titled “What’s in the grid”Each row is a node, placed or unplaced. The columns are:
- Label: the node’s name. This column stays in place as you scroll sideways.
- One column per measure that at least one node on the map has.
Tags and properties have no columns. See and change them in a node’s Details panel in Edit mode.
A measure no node uses yet has no column. To start using one, add it to a node in Edit mode, and its column appears here.
If you empty a column while you’re working, it stays until you leave the map.
The grid shows 100 rows per page, with page controls below it.
Click a column heading to sort by it. Click again to reverse the order. The table starts sorted by Label, A to Z.
- Numbers sort as numbers.
- Empty cells always sort last, whichever way you sort.
Click a cell and type. The change saves when you click away or press Enter. Clearing a measure cell removes that value from the node.
Edits show up straight away in Edit and Visualise modes.
Open a node on the canvas
Section titled “Open a node on the canvas”Hover over a row’s Label cell and click the ↗ that appears. It switches to Edit mode, selects the node and opens its Details panel.
If the node isn’t placed on the Edit canvas, the ↗ opens it in Visualise mode instead, with its Details panel open. The node is drawn there even if Include nodes not placed in Edit is off, or Nodes leaves it out.
What Table mode doesn’t do
Section titled “What Table mode doesn’t do”- Add or delete nodes. Do that in Edit mode.
- Rename, add or reorder columns.
- Show or edit tags and properties.
- Filter rows.
- Show connections. The table lists nodes only.
