Table list, pins, groups & labels

The sidebar lists every table in the connected profile and region, and gives you pins, color-coded groups, labels and drag-and-drop to tame long lists.

The basics

Once you’ve connected, the sidebar loads the table list. Click a table to open it as a tab. At the top you’ll find:

• New table — opens the create-table dialog.
• A filter box — type to narrow the list by name (case-insensitive substring). The filter applies everywhere: pinned, grouped and ungrouped sections.
• A new group button.

If you’re pointed at DynamoDB Local, a banner reminds you you’re in local mode with a one-click back to cloud button.

Pins

Pin the tables you touch most so they float to a Pinned section at the very top.

• Pin/unpin from the 📍/📌 icon that appears on hover over a row.
• Or right-click a table and choose Pin / Unpin.

Pinned tables still respect the filter.

Groups

Groups are collapsible, color-coded buckets you define.

Action	How
Create a group	Click the new-group button, type a name, pick a color, confirm
Rename	Click the ✎ on the group header (or click the name)
Recolor	Click the colored dot on the group header and pick a new color
Collapse / expand	Click the ▸ / ▾ chevron or the group name
Delete the group	Click the × on the header (tables inside become ungrouped, not deleted)

Each group header shows a count of its tables. A table belongs to at most one group — assigning it to a new group removes it from any previous one. Tables not pinned and not in any group appear under Ungrouped.

There are five group/label colors to choose from:

violet   cyan   magenta   green   amber

Labels

A label is a small colored tag shown next to a table name — handy for marking things like prod, wip or legacy.

1. Hover a row and click the ⋯ button.
2. Type the label text and pick a color.
3. Save. Use Remove label to clear it.

Drag-and-drop

Grab the drag handle (⠿, appears on hover) and drop a table onto a group to assign it, or onto the Ungrouped zone to remove it from its group. The target zone highlights while you drag, and a “drop into” hint appears.

Right-click menu

Right-clicking a table opens a context menu with:

• Open in new tab
• Copy name (to the clipboard)
• Pin / Unpin
• Settings — opens table settings
• Backups — opens the backups panel
• Truncate and Delete table — both go through a type-to-confirm guard (delete & truncate)

Where organization is stored

Pins, groups and labels are saved locally on your machine and persist between sessions. They are keyed by raw table name and are not scoped per profile or region — two tables with the same name in different accounts share the same pins, labels and group assignment. Keep that in mind if you reuse table names across environments.
