Sidebar, table info bar and toolbar

Find tables fast, read the key schema and indexes at a glance, and learn what every button in the info bar and toolbar does.

Sidebar

The sidebar lists every table in the connected account and region. DynamoOps pages through ListTables fully, so accounts with hundreds of tables are listed completely. The active table is highlighted.

Search tables… filters the list as you type, case-insensitively. Press ⌘+K to focus it from anywhere; it expands the sidebar first if it is collapsed.
↻ reloads the table list, useful after creating a table in another tool.
« collapses the sidebar to a narrow rail to give the grid more room, and » expands it again. ⌘+B toggles it, and the state is remembered between sessions.
＋ opens the Create Table dialog.

Empty states are explicit: “Connect to see tables” before the first load, “No tables found” for an empty account and “No matching tables” when the search has no hits.

Access denied

If the credentials lack dynamodb:ListTables, the list is replaced by an access-denied banner that names the IAM principal and offers a shortcut to the Assume Role tab.

Table info bar

Above the data grid, the info bar summarises the open table and hosts the schema-level actions.

Item count — the ItemCount from DescribeTable. AWS refreshes this figure roughly every six hours, so treat it as approximate.
Key tags — PK name (S) and, when present, SK name (N) with the attribute type.
Index tags — one per global secondary index with its keys. Hover for the projection type. A non-ACTIVE status such as CREATING is appended while AWS builds the index. Each tag has a ✕ to delete that index after a confirmation.

Button	What it opens
Dashboard	Table Dashboard with metadata and CloudWatch metrics

Toolbar

The toolbar groups item-level and query-level actions. On narrow windows the text labels collapse to icons; hover any button for its name.

Button	Action
➕ Insert Item	Create a new item in JSON or form mode
🧩 Template	Define a structured insert form for this table
🔄	Re-run the current query from page 1
🗑 Delete	Delete the selected rows (appears with a selection)
Filter loaded items...	Client-side search across every attribute of the loaded page
⬇ JSON / ⬇ CSV	Export the loaded items or the whole result set
⬆ Import	Import JSON, CSV or Excel
💰 Cost	Cost Analytics side panel
</> Code	Code Generator for the current query
🕒	Query History panel
⚡ Stream	Live Streams panel
⚙ Filters	Show or hide the query panel (state kept per tab)
▶ Execute	Run the current Scan, Query or SQL statement

Main area states

Welcome — shown when no tab is open: connect and pick a table to start.
Loading data… — a spinner while a request is in flight.
No items found — the query ran but returned nothing on this page. Adjust the filters or add an item.
Query error — the AWS error message appears as a toast, and inline under the editor in SQL mode.

Tabs and the multi-table workspace

Open several tables at once, each in its own tab with isolated query state, pagination and view mode. Switch, close and navigate with the keyboard.

Table Dashboard

Table metadata, key schema and 24 hours of CloudWatch metrics (consumed capacity, latency, throttles) plus active alarms in a slide-in panel.

Index manager (GSI)

Inspect the primary key, local and global secondary indexes of a table, create new global secondary indexes with any projection, and delete the ones you no longer need.
