If you are already viewing your results, you can change the display format to a text table by clicking the "Redisplay" button at the top of the results page.
To get all rows of a table without doing a search:
If more than one table is found, a page will be displayed where you will need to choose a table. If you choose more than one, you will lose the ability to select which columns will be displayed.
Click "Specify Additional Parameters".
A new page is displayed showing all the available columns for the table. The first column is a checkbox that determines if the column will be shown.
Uncheck all table types except "Proposals, abstracts, and schedules".
Click "More Options".
If more than one table is found, a page will be displayed where you will need to choose a table. Choose one that mentions abstracts in the name, unless you already know that a table has abstracts.
Click "Specify Additional Parameters".

Make sure the checkbox in the leftmost column for the abstract row is on.

Click "Start Search".
To see all the columns for a row in the results:
If you have not yet submitted your query, look for an option labeled "Show All Parameters" and check that box. Then submit the query. All columns will be displayed for all rows in the results.
If you are already looking at the results of a query and want to see all the columns for one row, you can do so by clicking the icon.
If you are already looking at the results of a query and want to see all the columns for several rows, you can do so by checking the boxes at the beginning of each row of interest, then click the "Display" button after the table.
To get data products:
When you are viewing the results of a query, if data products are available they are listed after each results table.
Click the checkbox beside each row in the results for which you want data products.
Click the "Preview and Retrieve" button to see a list of all the data products available for the selected results rows.
A new page will display showing all the available data products.
To preview or download individual data products, click on the link to the product's name.
To download many or all of the data products, select the products you want by checking the boxes to the left of each one, then click "TAR selected products".
A new page will display with a link to your tarfile.
If you wish to skip the preview page, you can click the "Retrieve" button on the results page.

To cross-correlate results against another table:
When you are viewing the results of a query, you can cross-correlate them with another table by clicking the "Cross-Correlate" button at the bottom of the table of results. All displayed rows are included in the cross-correlation - clicking the checkboxes by each row has no effect.
A new page will display - choose the table to correlate with.
