Filters let you control which items appear in the table and in any charts derived from it. Use filters to focus on a specific subset of data, such as items in a particular status, owned by a specific user, or within a numeric range.

Table charts enable you to turn item data into flexible, real-time visualizations without duplicating or exporting data. Because charts are built directly on top of the items table, they reflect the same filters, pivots, and live updates as the table itself.

Charts are designed to support both quick insights and deeper analysis. You can use them for various purposes:

You can add one or multiple charts to the same widget, customize how data is grouped and aggregated, and save different chart configurations as views. This makes it easy to switch between summary dashboards and detailed analysis using the same underlying dataset.

Pivot mode enables you to group and aggregate items to analyze totals, counts, and other metrics across different dimensions.

You can save a view to capture a specific filter or configuration of the widget so you can return to it later. You can also use views to easily switch between multiple ways of analyzing the same data. For example, you can create a high-level summary view and a detailed operational view—without duplicating data or creating additional widgets.

A saved view can include the following:

To save a view, follow the steps below:

Saved views display in the filter menu:

Once saved, you can toggle between views by selecting them in the filter menu to instantly change how the same set of items is displayed and summarized.

Add a View as a Favorite

You can add a saved view as a favorite view, adding a button for the view at the top of the widget.

To add a view as a favorite, open the filter menu and select the star for the relevant view:

Favorited views display at the top of the widget, where you can easily switch between them. Selecting the active view removes it, essentially clearing all filters:

To accommodate the download of large item counts, Tonkean provides an asynchronous download function. Tonkean switches to this large download behavior when the number of items multiplied by the number of fields in each item is greater than 5,000.

The process for initiating the download is the same as for smaller item counts. However, when you start the download, a different message displays in the upper right, informing you that the export is large and you'll receive a download link in your email.

You will receive an additional update message in the upper right when the download is done processing. At that time, you'll receive an email where you can download the exported file. This email provides an overview of how your data is split between multiple CSV or XLSX files (where the data volume exceeds Tonkean's export limit):

Select Download Export to download your exported files in a compressed zip file.
