Using Variant Management

Table personalization can be used to modify the display and settings of a table. It is a UI pattern that is used to change one or more of the following attributes:

• Visibility of columns
• Order of columns
• Sorting
• Grouping

A table personalization dialog is opened via Settings on the right-hand side of the table toolbar. To show or hide columns, the user only needs to select or deselect the check-boxes of the respective list item. The order of the columns can also be altered. Table personalization also allows the user to sort the table content according to the columns that are chosen and in a specific order.

Grouping enables the user to group the table data by one or more columns. The sort and group features can all be applied to a table simultaneously.

The filter bar filters item lists and tables according to various filter criteria. It can be collapsed or expanded.

Choose Adapt Filters to open the filter dialog. The filter dialog is the central component that shows all filters, allowing the user to add filters or remove them. Filters are arranged into their respective filter groups. The user can search for a specific filter by name in the search bar at the top.

The first group is called Basic and contains the preset filters that come with the app. A check-box next to each filter enables the user to show the corresponding filter on the expanded filter bar. If the check-box is selected, the filter is shown on the expanded filter bar. If the check-box is not selected, the filter is only visible within the filter dialog. In both cases, the filter is active if a value is entered.

Variants store view settings, such as filter settings or control parameters.

The filter settings consist of filter parameters, selection fields, and the layout of filters. They are set within the filter bar.

Control parameters are the sort order, group settings, column visibility, and the layout of a table or chart. They are set within the toolbar of the control.

Variant management can be used to:

• Save and load different filter settings to find the relevant data.
• Save and load different layouts, for example, for a table, to display data in different views.

When saving a new view, you can make the following settings:

• View: Name of the new view (required field).
• Set as Default: If checked, the new view is the new default view.
• Public: If checked, the new view is available to everyone who has access to the app.
• Apply Automatically: If checked, the view is applied immediately whenever it is selected. The user does not need to select Go in the filter bar.
