Tabular views

Tabular views (i.e., tables) allow you to represent and modify information about the model elements and/or relationships between them.

Specific tabular views you create in the modeling tool are tabular view usages defined by appropriate standard predefined tabular view definitions.

For tabular view creation procedures, see the (2026x Refresh1) Creating tabular views page.
- Additionally, you can create custom tabular view definitions.
You can use the (2026x Refresh1) Open in Table functionality to view element content in a table without creating a view element in the model.

There are multiple predefined tabular view definitions available in the modeling tool, each designed for specific purposes:

View definitions	Description	Columns	Availability
Standard predefined tabular view definitions
Generic Table	Standard predefined multi-purpose generic tabular view for element representation and modeling.	Declared Name Declared Short Name Documentation Qualified Name Owner Owned Element	Via Textual Editor Via the Create View command
Requirements Table	Standard predefined tabular view for requirements representation and modeling. It subclassifies the NonStandardLibraryElementFilter view definition, which includes multiple filters that exclude various standard library elements that are unlikely to be relevant for display in views.	Declared Name Req ID Documentation	Via Textual Editor Via the Create View command

Views are displayed in the View Editor tab.

Table toolbar allows you to quickly access the options for managing data in the table.
- See the Tabular view toolbar buttons page.
Grid displays data according to the exposed elements and their filters.
- See the (2026x Refresh1) Displaying elements in tabular views page.
  The grid consists of:
- Rows that appear along the side of the table, and are labeled using numbers starting with 1. Each table row represents an element.
  - See the (2026x Refresh1) Managing tabular view rows page.
- Columns that appear along the top of the table, and are labeled according to the specified metadata feature or named by hand. Each table column represents specific element data.
  - You can also modify tabular view columns.
    - See the (2026x Refresh1) Modeling tabular view columns page.
  - Column cells can be sorted and filtered.
- Cells are the intersections of every row and column, which represent element data values.
  - See the (2026x Refresh1) Managing tabular view cells page.
Table info area displays table information.
