Interacting with Query Results

Interacting with Query Results

Once Coginiti executes your query, you can use the Results Grid features to interact with the result set. We've reviewed the typical actions available to you below:

  • Reordering the Results Grid
  • Sorting the Results Grid
  • Filtering the Results Grid
  • Transpose Grid
  • Exporting results to CSV, TSV or XLX
  • Column Pinning
  • Row Pinning
  • Selecting a Column
  • Quick stats
  • Row Dragging

Reordering the Results Grid

After successful query execution, you can rearrange the columns in the Results Grid to perform subsequent analysis more effectively.

Reordering the Result Grid is easy:

  1. Click, hold and drag the header of the column you want to rearrange. As you move it left or right, the grid will adjust automatically to reposition the column.

  1. As soon as you're satisfied with the column's new position, release the drag, and it'll lock into place.

Sorting the Results Grid

After successfully executing a query, Aginity may return some query rows. You'll be able to sort those results and enable various types of analysis for them.

To starting sorting, simply click on the header row in the Results Grid. If that column is already sorting the results, then the order will toggle between ascending and descending.

Filtering the Results Grid

Coginiti lets you filter data in the Results Grid to simplify locating and analyzing certain subsets of the obtained information. In addition, the filtering option allows you to operate with that data without submitting an entirely separate query.

Follow these steps to use this feature:

  1. To filter the Results Grid by values in a particular column, bring your cursor to the header of the column you wish to work with. You'll see the filter icon (three horizontal bars) appear on the right-hand side of the header row.
  2. Click on the filter icon—a pop-up menu that will allow you to enter the filter criteria will open.

  1. The application will select the 'Contains' filter criteria by default, but several other filter types exist, and you can select any of them. Once you've made your choice, type in the filter into the text box.
  2. The results filtering will begin immediately. When a column is being filtered, you'll see a funnel icon appear in its header.

  1. To remove the filter, re-enter the filter mode by clicking on the three bars filter icon in the header row, and simply delete the filter text.
  2. Multiple columns can have active filters at the same time. To accomplish this, simply perform all these steps on each needed column.

Transpose Grid

Coginiti provides you with the ability to select particular columns and transpose their results.

  1. To access this feature, once you've got your results, select one or more needed rows in the Results Grid. Then hit the Transpose Results button in the Grid menu. Coginiti will open a new result tab with an updated table.

  1. If you select nothing but still click the button, Coginiti will transpose all rows at once.
  2. When you refresh the query, the application will close a tab with the transposed table. If SQL for the original tab reruns, it'll close all the related transposed tabs.
  3. If you close the original result tab, Coginiti will also close all the related transposed tabs.

Column Pinning

Pinning via Column Menu

You can pin columns by using the column header menu:

Pinning via Column Dragging

It is possible to pin a column by moving the column in the following ways:

  • When other columns are pinned, drag the column to the existing pinned area.
  • When no columns are pinned, drag the column to the edge of the grid and wait for approximately one second. The grid will then assume you want to pin and create a pinned area and place the column into it.

Row Pinning

To pin a row, you can use its context menu:

Selecting a Column

We have made it possible to select a column in the Results grid. To do this, click the 'Select column' item in the column header menu:

Quick Statistics

From now on, you can see statistics for the desired range, from a few cells to an entire column or row, or a combination of both. You just need to select them in the Results grid:

Row Dragging

The order of the rows can be changed by dragging the row with the mouse:
