Understanding the Smart Table View

Navigate the Smart Table interface: sort columns, manage visibility, export data, and collaborate with your team.

After you build or receive a Smart Table, whether from a pipeline search, a cross-trial comparison, or an imported dataset, the table view is where you work with the results. Here you can sort columns, manage visibility, add AI-generated columns, export data, and collaborate with your team.

Manage rows and columns

Use the expand/collapse icon at the top left to manage row visibility. The Columns icon next to it lets you show, hide, and reorder columns to focus on the data most relevant to your analysis.

AI Columns and Filters are covered in detail in their own articles:

Sort and inspect column data

Sortable columns display a sort icon next to the header. Click it to choose ascending, descending, or clear sort to restore the default order.

Hover over any column title to view a brief description and the input instructions used to generate the results. This helps you interpret the data accurately, especially for AI-generated columns.

To remove an AI-generated column, hover over the column header and click the delete icon that appears next to the heading.

Table actions

The action bar at the top right of the table provides:

  • Export Table downloads the current table. See Exporting a Smart Table for details.

  • Duplicate Table creates a working copy with identical structure and data.

  • Event Feed opens a dynamic feed of updates and signals tied to the table's entities, and lets you create watchlists directly from the table.

  • Share creates shareable links for collaboration with other Maven Bio users. When a shared link is opened, a copy of the table is added to the recipient's account.

The horizontal scroll bar is positioned at the top of the table to make it easier to navigate across many columns without losing access to controls.
