Run Table Component

The run table component is used to display an archive of simulation run results and provides the ability to reopen the simulation runs. Use the run table component properties to select columns of information to display, filter runs, and alter the run table positioning on the canvas.

Access the run table component properties by clicking on the run table component after it has been placed on the canvas. The Run Table Settings tab will appear in the component panel displaying a stack of horizontal tabs that are labeled and categorized as follows:

• Data – the properties used to assign, edit or remove a variable to the run table.
  
• Sorting – Contains the property options used to display the order of items listed in the run table.
  
• Filters – Contains the property options used to create a filter using a comparative condition. This is used to control which runs are placed in the run table.
  
• Style – Contains the property options used to change the font styles of the run table.
  
• Position, and ToolTip – Contains the property options used to adjust the size and position of the run table and provide tooltip information to the user.
  

Scroll down to view descriptions of all the run table component property options. Note that the property descriptions below are divided into the same categories found in the Run Table Settings tab.
