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. Arrays or objects can be expanded the same way.
Special features:
- Date values are shown in the localization set in the settings. Mouse-over the date with the mouse pointer for a longer time, the date is shown in UTC as it is stored in the database.
- With opening Mongo ObjectId's, the creation date of the document is displayed.
Table view
The table view displays all data in a table. It offers the easiest way to compare documents 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.
