Quicksheet

Quicksheet is a table of the points you have selected: one row per point, one column per metadata field. It is for reading a selection in bulk, sorting it, filtering it, and pushing a subset of it back to the map. It is not a spreadsheet: no cell in it can be edited.

Where to find it

View > Inspection > Quicksheet. The panel is named Quicksheet in the app.

What it shows

Rows are the points currently selected on the map, so the table is empty until you select something. With an empty selection the panel says Select points for table view.

Columns are assembled from the selected points:

• Title, the point’s title, falling back to a title metadata value and then to the point id.
• X and Y, the point’s two embedding coordinates.
• Bags, listed with each bag’s color, shown only when a selected point is in a bag or a bag is selected.
• One column for every metadata key found across the selected points, in alphabetical order.
• Date, shown only when at least one selected point has a date.

Numbers are displayed to two decimal places, booleans as Yes and No, and dates in your locale’s short format.

Toolbar

• Columns. A checkbox per column. Unchecking one hides it from the table and from the row filter.
• Filter rows. A substring match, case-insensitive, across the visible columns and the point id. While a filter is active, row dragging is off.
• Apply rows to map selection. Replaces the map selection with every row that has at least one highlighted cell. It stays disabled until you highlight something, and its tooltip repeats the rule: Uses each row that has at least one highlighted cell.

Working in the table

The panel states the two main gestures in its own hint line: Click cells to select. Double-click a row or press Enter (table focused) to move the map to that point.

• Cells. Click to select one. Shift-click toggles a single cell in or out. Shift-drag sweeps a rectangle. Ctrl+Click extends a rectangle from the last cell you touched. Arrow keys move the active cell, and holding shift while pressing them extends the rectangle.
• Rows. Hovering a row highlights that point on the map. Double-clicking a row, or pressing ↵ with the table focused, moves the map to that point. Drag a row by its body to reorder it, which is disabled while the filter box has text in it.
• Columns. Click a header to cycle its sort: ascending, then descending, then back to unsorted. Drag a header onto another to reorder. Drag the right edge of a header to resize it, down to a minimum of 100 pixels.

Summary bar

Highlight cells and a summary block appears above the table, headed with the number of selected cells and listing Sum, Average, Min, and Max. It only counts cells whose value is a number; text cells and the Bags column are skipped, and if none of the highlighted cells are numeric, no summary appears.

Following the map

Quicksheet is one of the panels with a link toggle in its tab bar. Linked, which is the default, the table scrolls to keep the point you hover on the map in view. Click the chain icon (Unlink Quicksheet) to stop it from following.

Limits

• The table is read-only. There is no cell editing, no relabeling, and no way to write a value back to a point.
• No tagging, merging, splitting, or export. The only bulk action is Apply rows to map selection. For tags, use HashTags; for durable groups, use Bags.
• No collaboration. Nothing in this panel is shared with anyone else, and it holds no live session state.
• Sorting, column order, column widths, and manual row order are panel state and are not saved with the space.
