Working With Tables

You can perform actions on tables to make the data easier to view and work with.

Many of the tables throughout the Mirth® Connect Administrator share the same general control scheme that enables you to adjust the table layout to make the data easier to work with.
  1. To rearrange columns, do either of the following:
    • Select and hold the header for the column you would like to move.
    • Drag the column to its new location. As you drag a column, the next columns automatically slide in the opposite direction to make room for the column you are moving.

    • Right-click the table header, then select the name of the column you would like to show or hide.

  4. To expand or collapse rows, do either of the following:
    • Select the plus/minus icons next to the row you would like to expand (+) or collapse (-).

    • Right-click the table header and select Expand All or Collapse All from the menu.

  5. To select multiple rows, do either of the following:
    • To select contiguous rows, select one of the rows in the table, hold down the Shift key and select a different row. While keeping the Shift key held down, select the Up/Down arrow keys to select additional rows.
    • To select non-contiguous rows, hold down the Ctrl key (or Apple Command key, ⌘ ) and select multiple rows.

  6. To search the table, do the following:
    1. Select Ctrl+F (or ⌘+F) to open the Find window.
    2. Enter the string you would like to find, then select the Find button. If a matching row is found, it will be selected and scrolled to.
