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. 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 shortened only, the number of the elements in brackets next to it. Mouse-over the text in the column with the mouse a longer time, 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 computationally more intensive than the other views and therefore slower, especially when more complicated documents are used.
Text view
The text view displays all documents in the JSON format. It is the fastest view.
