Customise Tables

Every table view in ChemCloud uses the same table. Once you know how one works, you know how all of them work. You can control what the table shows — which columns, in what order, filtered how, sorted how, at what row height — and save that setup as a view so you (or your whole team) can come back to it in one click. The controls sit in a row above the table: Search · Filters · Sort · Columns · Size · Export · Reset Saved view tabs sit above those controls, because everything below them is part of the view you’re currently looking at.

​

Saved Views

A saved view captures the whole state of the table: filters, sorting, which columns show and in what order, column widths, row size, and how many columns are frozen. Views are per-table — your Orders views are separate from your Shipments views.

​

The tab strip

Your views appear as tabs across the top of the table. Each tab shows a count with the number of rows in that view.

• + — creates a new view
• All Views — opens the full list of views on the right

​

Fixed views vs your own views

Every table ships with fixed views — on Orders these are In Progress Deliveries, Delivered and Open Blanket Orders. Their filters are preset and can’t be removed, but you can still save your own layout on them (columns, widths, order, row size, frozen columns). If you change the layout and want to save it, click the Create New View button. Filters that come from a fixed view or a view’s baseline show as a chip so you can see them, but they have no × — they aren’t removable.

​

Personal vs shared views

When you create or edit a view there’s a Share with team toggle. In the All Views panel, shared views carry a small people icon next to the name. Views without the icon are personal to you. Only Admins can create a shared view.

​

Creating a view

​

Changing a view

Views do not autosave. When you change something, a prompt appears above the table allowing you to Save the view, or Save as New. To rename a view or change its sharing, click the pencil icon on the view’s row in the All Views panel. This opens Edit Current View.

​

Reordering and removing views

Drag the grip handle on the left of any view row in the All Views panel to reorder it. The order saves automatically and survives a page reload. (Shared views created by teammates have no grip.) Deleting a view asks you to confirm first.

​

Reset

Reset in the toolbar clears your filters and layout and returns you to the view’s clean, default state.

​

Columns

Click Columns in the toolbar to open the columns panel. The panel header shows how many are currently hidden.

​

Show and hide columns

Tick or untick any column to show or hide it. Show all and Hide all are at the top of the panel. Hiding a column doesn’t move it — it stays in position in the list, just unticked. Each table has a sensible default set. On In Progress Deliveries, for example, the defaults are Delivery ID, Product, Volume, Packs and Site, with the rest available to switch on.

​

Reordering

Drag the grip handle to the left of a column name to move it. Clicking the column name toggles it on or off; the handle is only for dragging.

​

Resizing

Drag the divider line in any column header. The line turns blue and thickens when you hover it. Resizing one column doesn’t squeeze the others — the table grows to the right into horizontal scroll instead. Minimum column width is 80px.

​

Freezing columns

The first column is frozen by default, so it stays put when you scroll sideways. A light freeze line marks the boundary. Drag the line left or right to change how many columns are frozen — it snaps to column boundaries, up to four. Hovering shows a blue drag pill and the tooltip “Drag to adjust the number of frozen columns”. The freeze line starts below the header row, so you can still resize and reorder headers freely.

​

Filters

Filters appear as selectors in a row below the toolbar — one chip per field. The toolbar Filters button shows and hides that row and carries a blue badge counting how many filters are active.

​

Using a filter

Click a filter to open its menu. Each menu has:

• A search box for finding options quickly
• A tick list of values — select as many as you like
• Clear in the header and Clear All in the footer

Filters apply instantly — there’s no Apply button, and the menu stays open so you can keep ticking. An active chip turns blue with a count badge. All the values you’ve picked for a field appear in one chip, comma separated — for example Order Status: Order placed, Order confirmed, Delivered. Clicking the chip’s × clears that whole field in one go.

​

Which chips you see

Each page shows its three most-used filters as chips, with the rest behind More Filters. More Filters is a visibility panel — tick a field to pin its chip to the row, untick to hide it. It has Clear all and Show all. Two rules worth knowing:

• Any filter that’s currently active always shows its chip, even if you’d hidden it. An active filter never hides.
• Unticking a filter that has values selected clears it. Nothing filters invisibly.

Your chip visibility choices are remembered for your session but aren’t saved into a view.

​

Filters on fixed views

Filters that come with a fixed view are shown as plain text chips — visible, but with no ×. As soon as you change something, they become removable.

​

Search

The search box sits at the left of the toolbar. It searches as you type — no need to press Enter. The placeholder tells you what you’re searching (Search orders…, Search shipments…), and hovering the box shows which fields are covered.

​

Multi-Sort

Click Sort in the toolbar to open the Sort rules panel. The button turns blue and shows a count when sorting is active. You can sort by more than one field at once — sorting on three fields and saving that as a view is a supported workflow.

​

Adding a sort

Each rule appears as a row in the panel showing the field and its direction, e.g. Required by · A-Z. Rules apply in the order they’re listed: the first rule sorts the table, the second breaks ties within the first, and so on. You can also sort by clicking a column header. Sort rules save into a view along with everything else. Clicking outside the panel closes it.

​

Export

Click Export in the toolbar to download the table as a CSV.

• Exports every row that matches your current filters and search — not just the page you’re looking at. Pagination doesn’t limit the export.
• You’ll get a success message once the file is on its way.
• The file downloads to wherever your browser saves downloads.

Export sits on the table toolbar rather than in a page-level menu, because it needs to see the table’s current filter and column state to export the right rows.

​

Row size

Size sets row height. Three options: Row size saves into your view.
