Tables

In ERADIANT you will encounter the same table features in many places – e.g. for contacts, institutions, events, networking time slots or mailings.
The interaction pattern is the same everywhere so you can orient yourself quickly.

Columns & display

Column width

• Columns automatically adapt to their content and header.
• You can adjust the width via drag & drop on the column edge.

Show and hide columns

• Via the column menu (often “…” or a gear icon in the header) you can choose which columns should be visible.
• Hidden columns remain part of the table but are not shown.

Column order

• You can move columns using drag & drop.
• The order is saved for you (see “Saved views” below).

Sorting

Simple sorting

• Clicking a column header sorts the table by that column.
• Clicking again reverses the sort order (ascending/descending).
• A third click usually resets sorting.

Multi-column sorting (depending on table)

• In some tables you can combine multiple columns (e.g. sort by date first, then by name).
• Active sorting is indicated by a sort icon in the column header.

Search & filters

Search bar

• Above the table there is a search bar.
• You can search for terms there (e.g. name, email, title).
• Which fields are searched depends on the specific table (e.g. event list vs. contacts).

Dynamic filters

• Many tables offer additional filters (e.g. status, categories, tags).
• Filters can be combined – for example you can show only active entries of a certain type.
• Active filters are usually displayed so you always see why you are looking at a particular result set.

Pin columns

What does “pinning” mean?

• Pinned columns stay fixed on the left or right when you scroll horizontally.
• Typical examples: name, title or key identifier columns.

Usage

• Via the column menu you can pin a column to the left or right.
• Pinned columns are visually separated so you can recognize them quickly.
• You can unpin columns at any time.

Pagination

• Below the table you find pagination controls.
• You can:
  • navigate to the next / previous page,
  • sometimes jump directly to a specific page,
  • in some tables set the number of entries per page.
• The page size setting is often stored as a preference for your user account.

Row actions

Depending on the table there are additional actions directly in each row:

• Open details / edit – e.g. by clicking the name or an edit icon.
• Context actions – e.g. delete, duplicate, export, depending on the module.

The exact actions differ by domain (contacts, events, inventory), but the interaction pattern remains consistent.

Saved views

Tables automatically save your last state:

• Column visibility
• Column order
• Pinned columns
• Sorting
• Active filters

When you open the same table again later, your personal view is restored.
This means you do not have to reconfigure frequently used setups (e.g. favorite columns + sorting) every time.
