Some tables have the Create Filter link, which is at the very bottom of the screen, below the pagination tool (if the pagination tool is present).

Clicking either the Create Filter text or the pin icon immediately to its left will bring up the Filter Builder panel.

If there is already an active filter, the Create Filter text will be replaced by the text of the filtering condition (you can click to edit that condition in the Filter Builder panel).

Additionally, there will be a checkbox to the left of that text that can be used to temporarily deactivate the filter, and all the way on the right will be the Clear button,

which will eliminate the filter entirely. In some cases, if there is no active filter, the Create Filter tool will not appear in the table, but if there is an active filter, the text of the filtering condition will appear.

...

There is one even simpler way of filtering the results. Some column headings themselves have pin icons next to the name of the column. Clicking the pin icon in a column heading will bring up a list of all the distinct contents of the cells in that column.

In some cases, there will be a checkbox next to each item in the list. If there is no checkbox, you may simply select one of the options in the list, and the table will only show results matching the option you selected. If there are check boxes, you may select any number of the check boxes to only show results matching one of the items you selected. After selecting whichever check boxes you wish, press the OK button below the list to save your selections and create the filter. You can press the Cancel button instead to undo your selections and close the list. If none of the check boxes are selected (which is the default), or if the "(Select All)" box is selected, none of the results will be excluded based on that column. (Technically, if the Select All box is selected, it will create a filter, but that filter will have no effect on which results appear.) Selecting every box except the "(Select All)" box will automatically also select the "(Select All)" box. You may use this list filter on multiple columns, much like using the text-entry filter on multiple columns.  Indeed, you may also use the list filter on some columns and the text-entry filter on others. (You may not, however, use the list filter and the text-entry filter on the same column. Using either will override the other.)


As an example, in the screen shot below, you can enter filter terms in the input fields (red arrows). If you only want to see the medical providers for one of the plaintiffs, enter a unique portion of that person's name into the input field (in this case, perhaps "Smeryna"Pam”) to limit the results to only that person.

Column Display Configuration

Some tables have a Show/Hide Columns button to the lower right of the table.

...

Clicking this button brings up the Column Chooser panel (which in many, but not all, tables is empty by default, meaning that all columns are currently visible). You can drag any of the column headings into the Column Chooser panel, which will hide that column from appearing in the table of results. You can also drag any column heading out of the Column Chooser panel to a spot among the headings in the table of results, which will make that column visible again in the spot to which you dragged it. Even if a column is hidden, you can still sort the table based on that column by clicking its heading in the Column Chooser panel. To hide the Column Chooser panel itself, click the white X in the upper right corner of the panel. You can also move the Column Chooser panel by dragging its top bar (containing the text "Column Chooser") wherever you choose. This can be particularly helpful if the Column Chooser panel is hiding a portion of the table you want to view.
