Tabular Attributes

When Attributes belong to multiple entities of the same type, they can be displayed in a tabular (grid) form — where each entity occupies a row and each attribute key becomes a column.

Access: The tabular view appears automatically when viewing attributes for a collection of entities (e.g., all Steps in a Process, all Conditions, etc.).

📊 Grid Layout

The tabular view organizes attributes in a spreadsheet-like format:

Attribute Key 1

Attribute Key 2

Attribute Key 3

Entity 1

  • Rows = individual entities (Steps, Processes, Conditions, etc.)

  • Columns = attribute keys shared across that entity type

✏️ Editing in Tabular View

Click any cell to edit its value inline. The cell editor adapts to the attribute key type:

➕ Adding Keys as Columns

Use the + button at the bottom-right of the tabular view to add new attribute keys. Each new key appears as an additional column with values for every entity in the collection.

New keys follow the same creation workflow as in the standard Attributes panel — specify a name, type, and optional default value. If a default value is set, all rows are initialized with it.

🔄 How To: Use Tabular Attributes for Batch Review

Follow these steps to efficiently review and edit attributes across all steps in a process:

Step

Action

1

Open your module and navigate to the process you want to review

2

Open the Attributes panel from the Module Ribbon

3

Select the entity type (e.g., Steps) — the tabular view appears automatically

4

Review values across all rows for consistency

5

Click any cell to edit inline — changes are saved immediately

6

Use the + button to add new attribute columns as needed

📋 When to Use Tabular vs Standard View

Scenario

Recommended View

Editing attributes for a single entity

Standard attributes panel

Comparing attribute values across entities

📊 Tabular view

Bulk editing the same attribute across many entities

📊 Tabular view

Creating or managing key definitions and List Types

Standard Attributes panel

Tip: The tabular view is especially useful for reviewing consistency across Steps — for example, verifying that all Steps have correct temperature and duration values before Validation.
