A tab is created when you run and inspect your data, add a new tab, or duplicate a tab. By using multiple tabs, you can create unique visualizations to inspect differences, spot trends, and develop insights regarding your data. You can add a new tab to build a new visualization, or you can duplicate an existing tab to investigate the results of small changes to your data. Although a tab is initially denoted by its associated visualization type (Table, Stacked Bar, Geo Map, etc.), you can customize this assigned tab name. When changing the tab's name, you can use the same name for more than one tab, but a name cannot be blank.

Perform the following steps to change a tab name:

  1. Double-click the tab (or select Rename from the tab menu).
  2. Type the new tab name in the text box, and then click outside the text box (or press Enter).
    Note: Press Esc if you want to cancel your changes.
Tabs remain open between sessions so that you can always return to the inspection canvas to fine tune your transformation at any time until satisfied with the results. Note that tabs can become invalid when you reopen a remembered inspection session, if, for example, some of the selected fields in the transformation or step were removed, renamed, or changed in relation to the hierarchy. Additionally, tabs can become invalid when the metadata of the field changes. To revalidate those tabs, you can clear the invalid fields from the visualization in the inspection canvas, or exit your session and revert the performed changes before reentering the inspection environment. In the flat table, all invalid fields are removed automatically.
