File & View Tabs

Work with multiple files and independent views.

Overview

ExploreMyData uses a tab system that lets you work with multiple files at the same time. Each file appears as a tab at the top of the screen, and each file can have multiple independent views - similar to worksheets in a spreadsheet application.

File Tabs

When you upload a file, it appears as a new tab at the top of the interface. You can upload multiple files and switch between them by clicking their tabs.

• Each file tab shows the file name.
• Click a tab to switch to that file's data and pipeline.
• Click the X button on a tab to close that file.
• Double-click a file tab to rename it.

Views

Each file can have multiple views. A view is an independent workspace with its own pipeline and grid state. This lets you explore the same file in different ways without losing your work.

• Each view has its own pipeline of operations.
• Each view has its own sort order and grid state.
• Adding or editing operations in one view does not affect other views.
• Double-click a view tab to rename it (e.g., "Cleaned", "Summary", "Export-ready").

Working Across Tabs

Some operations work across file tabs. The Join operation lets you combine data from two different files. When you open the Join panel, you can select any other uploaded file as the join table.

Tips

• Use multiple views to compare different transformation approaches on the same data.
• Create a "raw" view to keep the original data untouched while you experiment in other views.
• When preparing a join, upload both files first so they appear as tabs, then use the Join operation to combine them.
