Here's a list of all the actions:
* Table actions
* **Table actions**
- `X-ray this` will show you an automatic exploration and summary of the data in this table. [Learn more about x-rays](14-x-rays.md)
- `Count of rows by time` lets you see how many rows there were in this table over time.
- `Summarize this segment` gives you options of various summarization functions (sum, average, maximum, etc.) you can use on this table to arrive at a number.
* Chart and pivot table actions
* **Chart and pivot table actions**
- `Break outs` will be listed depending on the question, and include the option to break out by a category, location, or time. For example, if you're looking at the count of total orders over time, you might be able to further break that out by customer gender, if that information is present.
- `View this as a table` does what it says. Every chart has a table behind it that is providing the data for the chart, and this action lets you see that table.
- `View the underlying records` shows you the un-summarized list of records underlying the chart or number you're currently viewing.
- `X-ray this question` will show you an automatic [x-ray]((14-x-rays.md)) exploration of this question's results.
