Work in the Data Objects table

You can filter, export and open objects from the table, and archive or restore one.

Where: web portal, Data, then Objects. Needs: the Org Admin or Analyst / Fielder role.

When you finish: you can filter, export and open objects from the table, and archive or restore one.

The map answers where. This table answers which record. Use it when you need filters and paging more than a map pin.


Getting there and around

  1. Open Data, then Objects. The page is titled Data objects. If you cannot see it, your role does not include it.

  2. Use the toolbar: Create (then Add one and pick a template), Export as a CSV, and filter by Time or Type. The export covers the rows on the page you are looking at, not every row your filter matches, so page through or widen the page size before you export.

  3. Filter by type when you want poles rather than spans. This table has no search box; the Files table does.

  4. Open an object from the view control on its row. Clicking the row only highlights it.

Filters, sorting and paging stay in the page address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked or shared.

Archive and unarchive

  • An object shows archive or unarchive, never both.

  • Archiving sets values aside rather than destroying them, and returns you to where you came from.

  • An archived object says so when opened, shows when it was archived, and offers to restore. Unarchive brings the most recent values back.
