Using Grid Views

Grid Views show your nodes in a table format — great for reviewing and editing many elements at once.

Opening a Grid View

  1. In the Tree View, right-click on a Node Type (e.g., "Server")
  2. Select Open Grid View
  3. A table opens in the workspace showing all nodes of that type

What You See

The grid displays:

  • One row per node (instance of the selected type)
  • Columns for: Label, Description, and each property defined on the Node Type
  • Values are shown inline and can be edited directly

Inline Editing

  1. Click on any cell in the grid
  2. Edit the value directly
  3. Changes are saved automatically and synced to collaborators in real-time

Sorting

  • Click a column header to sort by that column
  • Click again to reverse the sort order

Tips

  • Grid views are ideal for bulk data entry — much faster than clicking each node individually
  • Use grid views alongside the canvas for different perspectives on the same data
  • Grid views respect the same underlying model — edits here are reflected everywhere
