Hello!

Our team is starting to work on changes to the results table, including:

1. changing unselected columns and row colors to grey
2. changing selected columns and rows to blue
3. differentiating header text so that field name is bold and datatype is
in brackets
4. text is white when columns are selected
5. removing checkboxes in each cell
6. adding a triangle indicator for select all (top left corner)

Clicking a single cell inside the table will unselect everything else and
only select that cell.

Here is an updated version of the table:

Please review these changes and provide feedback. We would like to
implement them this week.

Thanks!
