Explorer presents collections in an intuitive card layout on the landing and search pages. Each collection shows key information and its access level: Open Access, Registered Access, or Controlled Access.

Note: Collections marked as or require authentication before viewing. Open Access collections are available without logging in.

Accessing Collection Details

Navigate to any collection by selecting its card from the main view. The collection details page provides two main sections:

  1. Overview - Contains collection metadata and description

  2. Data Tables - Presents the actual collection data in an interactive tabbed interface

Working with Data Tables

Viewing and Filtering Data

  • Select the desired data table from the available tabs

  • Use the filter sidebar on the left to narrow down results

  • Toggle the filter sidebar using the menu icon for a full-width view

  • Scroll horizontally and vertically to explore all data points

Customizing Your View

  • Adjust column widths by dragging the column headers

  • Manage visible columns through the Columns menu:

    • Show/hide specific columns using checkboxes

    • Reorder columns using drag handles

    • Reset to default view as needed

Downloading Data

  • Click "Download" to export up to 1,000 rows in CSV format

  • Select specific rows before downloading to export just those records

  • Downloaded files include all currently visible columns

Programmatic Access

Command Line Interface (CLI)

Python

SQL

Write custom SQL queries using the SQL interface in the View Query dialog.

Signed URLs

Generate shareable URLs that provide temporary access to query results:

  • URLs inherit your access permissions

  • Valid for 15 minutes from generation

  • Ideal for quick data sharing with collaborators

For advanced data exploration, offers several programmatic access methods by clicking "View Query":

View CLI commands through the View Query button and follow the for setup instructions.

Access the Python code snippet in the View Query dialog's Python tab. Refer to the documentation for implementation details.
