Metadata tab unavailable

Dear community,

Please help me to understand this:

Sometimes the radio buttons switching between data and metadata are available, sometimes not, even in the same type of tool. 

Why so, what is depends on? 🙃

 

For example, on the screenshot below, I have 3 browse tools, 2 of them having metadata tab, all of them after running the flows.

I did not touch any special settings. My version is 2025.1.2.79.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

 

So it just depends on how much space is on your screen.

Just click the arrow here and it will show the options:

So the reason it is gone in the last screenshot is that you have 6 digits worth of records and not as many in the other two browse tools. Since it takes mores screens space it pushed the buttons into the menu

Hope this helped
