Understanding how to use and switch between these views is key to efficient data exploration and curation. You can switch views at any time using the view-selector icons at the top right of the data display area. The gallery view is the default, providing a visual grid of your data. It’s designed for rapid visual scanning and exploration.

  • How to use it: Simply scroll through the grid to explore. You can click on any data row to open the detailed view or use Shift + Click to select a range of items.

List view

The list view organizes your data rows in a familiar table format, emphasizing metadata over visual appearance.

  • Best for: Understanding the composition of your dataset, identifying class imbalances, and seeing how your data is distributed across different metadata values.

    2. The view will display histograms and charts for your data’s attributes.
    3. You can click on a bar in any chart (e.g., a specific annotation class) to automatically filter your dataset down to only the data rows with that attribute.

​
Detailed view

The detailed view allows you to perform a deep dive into a single data row.
  • Best for: Inspecting an individual data asset, viewing all of its associated metadata, examining its annotations, and accessing all related information in one place.
