We are very excited to share our latest improvement to the tables sidepane


 


Showing tables with data:


Following your valued feedback, we have added an option for users to filter the tables sidepane to only show tables containing data.
This means empty tables associated with the scope you are currently exploring will not be shown by default, reducing clutter and helping you focus on the insights you need.
Controlling what tables are shown is super easy, using a toggle on the top of the tables sidepane:

Set your default:


By default, Log Analytics sidepane will only show tables with data, however, we have added the option to change this default behavior.


If you want Log Analytics table sidepane to show all tables, by default, you can change the setting using Log Analytics settings:
