How to configure table row grouping via component inspector

💬 App Building

Can you point me to anyone that knows anything about grouping rows in table controls?

We found a JS command on one of the forums that lets us do the grouping but can’t find anything in the UX (property inspector) to set that.

Finding little documentation about it. Wondering about how we can have the column that is grouped overlap the columns it’s grouping. IE:

Header row would be here
First column second column …...

Vs default we see of:
Header row here
First column second column …..

It's a little hidden, but you can find the option via the Advanced portion of the Content settings, accessed via the ellipsis element.

I'm not sure I understand the second part of your question, though. :thinking: Can you clarify or maybe provide a screenshot?

UPDATE: For the sake of clarity and discoverability, I broke this particular post out into a separate topic!

Sure. Thanks for the response. This is what I would like to do

also. Where can I go to understand how the addons for the columns work? I'm thinking i might have dynamic tooltips for some of these but how it's working does not seem to make sense to me.

Hey @David_Bolen,

Unfortunately there is no way of getting rid of the blank space under the grouped column.

Have you considered using expandable rows?? You could aggregate your data to show info about the group in the parent row, and have either another table in the expendable section, or other components. O made a video a while ago on this which you can watch here

Also, here's a post on how you could aggregate your data to have nested values under each record Looking for some possible ideas - #5 by MiguelOrtiz

I'm curious to hear an update, @David_Bolen! Was @MiguelOrtiz's recommendation helpful?

Thanks guys. I did look at the expandable rows under my group. I think that will be useful for something we might do later on with equipment specific to each line item. But for my original request, it didn't help much. I've decided to just live with the limitation of the extra space in the grouping. It's more of an annoyance than anything. Because the group values are not that big it's not a big deal.

Sounds good! Thanks again for reaching out. I've filed a ticket internally documenting the behavior that you'd like to see for grouped rows and will provide an update here as soon as there is movement. :+1:
