A table tab keeps its AWS profile, Region, table, result mode, and selection separate from other tabs. Confirm that context before you read or change data.

Discover tables

  1. Open table discovery from Settings, or select Manage AWS profiles in Global Search.
  2. Select an AWS profile.
  3. Select one or more Regions.
  4. Select Load tables.
  5. Expand a Region and select a DynamoDB table.

A local endpoint profile does not require an STS identity check. For AWS profiles, resolve any authentication error before you load tables.

Open and switch tables

Each table opens in a tab. Use the main sidebar or Global Search to open another table. Global Search only includes resources that Dynomate has already discovered. The tab keeps the table ARN and profile, which reduces accidental context changes when you switch tabs.

Table tabs
Dynomate with DynamoDB tables from separate AWS contexts open in tabs
Check the active tab before you read or change data.

Run a Scan or Query

  • Scan reads items without a partition key condition. Add filters to reduce the returned items, but remember that DynamoDB applies scan filters after reading data.
  • Query requires a partition key value. Select an index if applicable, then add a sort key condition when the selected schema supports one.
  • Scroll near the end of the grid to load the next result page when more rows are available.

If a request fails, open Logs to read the AWS error, profile, Region, resource, and request ID. A failed Query with saved parameters can be run again from the matching table tab. For common causes, see failed scans and queries.

Select and inspect rows

Select a row to show its JSON in JSON Inspector. Use Shift + click or Shift + arrow keys to extend a selection. Use Cmd/Ctrl + A while the grid has focus to select all loaded rows. JSON Inspector data is scoped to the active tab.

Edit and review updates

Inline grid edits and JSON Inspector edits are staged. Open Review Changes, review each Put, Update, or Delete operation, then apply the changes. The row context menu's Edit Item dialog is different: it writes immediately and does not enter Review Changes. See Edit and Delete Table Items.
