Understanding Table Widgets

Several widgets display data in the form of a table where columns can be manipulated a way or another. Most of the time, the column labels can be set via the widget configurator. For more details, please refer to Section Using the Default Widgets.

In the widget, each column label displays a menu button when hovering the mouse over it. This three-tabbed menu can provide users with:

  • Options for the selected column or all, such as:

    • Pin column, with No Pin by default, which can be set to Pin left or Pin Right to always display the selected column when scrolling horizontally;

    • Autosize This Column, to display as much text as possible in this column;

    • Autosize All Columns, to display as much text as possible in all columns;

    • Group by and/or Un-group all — only available for certain columns in certain widgets —, which allows reducing all open folders/groups at once;

    • Reset Columns, which restores all columns size and pinning state to default;

    • Expand All Rows Groups, which allows developing all the list rows at once;

    • Close All Rows Groups, which allows reducing all the list rows at once;

  • An option to Filter the rows — only available for text columns —, with the parameters Contains, Does not contain, Equals, Does not equal, Begins with, Ends with, Blank and Not blank;

  • An option to find and choose which columns should be displayed in the list.
