Interactive tables—easily recognizable because of their powder blue column headers—can be found in various places all over the NMPDR Website. The example shown below is one of the more complex incarnations: it's what you'll see if you select the Table View button on a Search Results page.

Each interactive table will have one or more of the following capabilities.

Column Selector

The double-sided column selector allows you to select which columns of information you want to see. To display a column, select it on the right and click the left-pointing arrow. To hide a column, select it on the left and click the right-pointing arrow. Note that not all columns will be listed in the selector: columns with important identifying information are considered essential and cannot be hidden.

Navigator

If the table is large, only the first few rows will initially be displayed. The navigator allows you to page forward and backward in the table.

Sort Buttons

To sort the table using the content of a particular column, use one of the sort buttons. The triangle pointing up sorts the column in reverse order (highest to lowest); the triangle pointing down sorts the column in standard order (lowest to highest).

Filter

Filters allow you to hide rows of the table that do not match a specified filter condition. So, for example, you could type an organism name in the Organism column's filter box to display only the rows for features from that organism.

In addition, some tables will have buttons allowing you to download the table contents or export them to an Excel file.
