Table Settings Overview
Every Decode Table has configurable settings that control how data is processed during ingestion, how it's displayed when you view it, and how it can be exported. These settings are accessible through the Table Settings panel.
Accessing Table Settings
- Navigate to the Data page
- Select a Table from the sidebar
- Click the Settings tab (gear icon)
Available Settings
Table Settings are organized into several sections:
Schema
View and edit your Table's column structure. This shows the Row Identifier, Static Columns, Metadata Columns, and Dynamic Columns that define your Table.
→ Learn more about schemas in What is a Table?
Mapping Values (Possible Values)
Configure the lists of column names and formulas that Decode uses to automatically map incoming spreadsheet columns to your Table columns.
→ Learn more in How Cleaning Works
Display Columns
Control which columns are visible when viewing data in the Data tab, and customize the order in which columns appear.
Ingestion Rules
Define rules that automatically validate, transform, or filter data during the upload process. Ingestion rules give you precise control over data quality.
Export Settings
Create export configurations that map your Table data to predefined Excel templates. Useful for generating standardized reports.
Saving Changes
After making any changes to Table Settings, click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page to persist your changes. Settings are applied immediately to all future data operations.
Changes to ingestion rules affect all future file uploads. Existing data in your Table is not retroactively modified by new rules.
