Records Table

Overview

The Records Table is one of the most versatile data widgets on Presight designed to provide users with a detailed view of raw data tables or custom tables. It acts as a mini table view, enabling users to quickly access, analyze, and manipulate data related to specific points in charts or tables. This functionality bridges the gap between high-level visualizations and granular data insights, offering an intuitive interface for deeper exploration and data management.


Key Features

1. On-Demand Data Access

  • Triggering the Records Table: Activate the Records Table by right-clicking on any chart or table and selecting "Show all records."

  • Contextual Filtering: Upon activation, Presight dynamically filters all relevant records associated with the selected data point and displays them in a Records Table directly below the chart or table.

  • Interactive Exploration: This allows for seamless exploration of underlying data without disrupting the current workflow.


2. Custom Table Creation

  • Excel-Like Flexibility: Users can build new custom tables within the Records Table widget using Presight formulas, mimicking the functionality and familiarity of spreadsheet software like Excel.

  • Formula Support: Presight formulas enable powerful calculations, aggregations, and transformations directly within the widget.

  • Dynamic Updates: Custom tables built with formulas are dynamically linked to the underlying data, ensuring updates reflect changes in the source.

    • Drill down from a high-level chart or aggregated data table to explore the underlying records in detail.

    • For instance, clicking on a specific bar in a chart could reveal the full dataset contributing to that value.

  2. Custom Table Design

    • Create bespoke tables tailored to specific analytical needs using Presight formulas.

    • Use formulas to calculate metrics, derive insights, or transform data directly within the widget.

  3. Enhanced Workflow

    • Integrate record-level data exploration into broader analytical workflows, enabling rapid hypothesis testing and data validation.
