Results

The Results tab in the Developer module displays the results of any operations carried out by the other three tabs.

The Results page consists of two portions. The upper portion (in grey) shows the database and collection selected on the left, and the actions that can be performed on the right. The lower portion displays the list of records (result) from the other tabs.

In this tab, you can perform the following:

  • Re-order the columns either in ascending or descending order
  • Add, edit and delete records listed
  • Download the records listed

By default, the order of columns are displayed according to the order of the fields in the records. You can re-order the columns of the records listed in the page by selecting either ascending or descending from the drop-down list in the “Columns Order” field.

Add Record

To add a new record or document into the selected collection, click on the “Add” button at the upper right corner of the page.

The “Create Document” dialog box will appear. The new document uses the structure of the existing records and a unique ID is randomly generated.

After all the necessary fields are filled in, click on the “OK” button to save the new document. Click on the “Cancel” button to abort the action.

A notification will appear and the new record will be added at the end of the list.

Then click on the “Edit” button at the upper right corner of the page. The “Edit Document” dialog box will appear.

At the bottom of the dialog box, the number of records selected and the current record is displayed. In the above example, there are eight records selected and is currently viewing the second record. You can move to the next or previous record by clicking on the “Next” or “Previous” button respectively at the bottom of the dialog box.
