DynamoDB NoSQL Workbench test table not visible

I'm new on DynamoDB and using NoSQL Workbench to learn. There is a new "Example" table in "Data modeler" section. I made a new LOCAL connection under "Operation builder" section to work on/test the "Example" table. Connection was created successfully and there was no error. But I can't see any table under Connection part. It says "No table found". I can't understand the problem. I think, I should see the "Example" table that is visible under "Data modeler" section. How can I see the table in Connection section?

    NoSQL Workbench is buggy.

    I have worked through several different bugs in the system.

    • You may have to completely close the application and restart it to get some items to show including the table or a new global secondary index
    • There are some expanding selection menus that work on the second or third try.
    • Toggle between menu items on the left.
    • If you have selected a query and nothing is showing up, select another type like getitem and then re-select query to update the UI.

    It seams there are a few bugs due to the screen not refreshing the UI at the appropriate times.

    I've worked through the above items and now I can use the application, just have to work through the above recommendations from time to time.

    This is a beta level application, but still a bit useful when entering into DynamoDB data modeling.
