There are 3 views to display the query results in Mongo Management Studio. Using the buttons in the toolbar within a tab of an open collection you can switch between the views.
List view
The list view shows the results in a tree view. You can expand each document. Also arrays or objects can be folded on itself.
Special features:
- Date values appear on the localization, which was set in the settings. If you stay longer on the date with the mouse pointer, it appears the date in UTC, as it is stored in the database.
- You can also open Mongo ObjectId's. Then the creation date of the document is displayed.
Table view
The table view displays all data in a table. Documents can be compared best of all with this view.
Special features:
- The column is sorted by clicking on the column name. If you click again, the sort direction is reversed.
- Arrays and objects are displayed only shortened. In parentheses stands the number of the elements. If you stay longer on the text in the column with the mouse, a popup window displays the content of the array or the object.
- You can select several or all documents of a page and delete them.
The table view is very arithmetic-intensive and is slower above all with complicated documents than the other views.
Text view
The text view displays all documents in the JSON format. It is the fastest view.
