Building Your Template
TabLogs has two types of columns: 'Configurable' and 'Pre-configured Columns.' For highly specific datasets such as well logs or defects, we build pre-configured columns. For everything else, use our configurable column builder to design exactly as you need.
TabLogs offers multiple different column types for presenting your data, all of which have some shared features which we'll go through first.
Column Configuration section : Modifying Column Order, Add New Column and Add Child Column
Column Order and Visibility
Description: Rearrange the order of columns in your log reports to prioritize the most important data or where its located.
How to Modify: Access the column by using this button Ξ to reorder them according to your preference.
In the image below, columns with the toggle switched on are displayed in the log report, while those with the toggle switched off are hidden.
The order of columns from top to bottom determines their arrangement from left to right in the report. To position a column on the left, simply drag it to the top.
Adding New Columns
Description: Add new columns to capture additional data points or provide more detailed insights.
How to Add: In the Log Format, navigate to the Column Configuration section. At the bottom of the page, click "Add" to create a new column.
Add Child Column
Some default columns can contain multiple data entries. For example, the Sample column allows you to click the "+" sign to add child columns, each representing a specific sample.
Custom columns will always have the option to add child columns, as shown and this child column can be deleted. The picture below shows the newly added child column as displayed in the log report.
If you receive the error message "Please select data for your New Column" while updating a column, especially a newly added child or new column, it means that required data for the selected column has not been entered. Please return to the edit log, add the necessary data in the relevant tabs (e.g., DCP test), and then you can add and display the column again.
Choose your Column Width (%)
Allows users to set/adjust column width as percentage and displays the remaining percentage of the page.
Configuration Guidelines: Simply slide it to the left to decrease width or slide it to the right to increase width.
