Basic Configuration

To configure a basic table, you must have at least the following features defined. Ensure that prior to creating a new Table component you have all data you wish to include in the table properly defined in the Knowledge Model. Additional links on links on setting these fields up can be found in the table below.

Attribute	Required	Type	Description
field	true	Record Attribute, KPI, or Augmented Attribute	References objects defined in the Knowledge Model. Important In many use cases the record must have an identifier defined to use properly.
id	true	String	Defines a unique identifier for the field. It gets auto-generated if not defined. It is important in context of Base and Extension. To learn more about the concept check out the following documentation.
order	true	Integer	Defines the order of the table column. Gets auto-generated if not defined. It is important in context of Base and Extension. To learn more about the concept check out the following documentation.

Attribute

Required

Type

Possible values

Description

resizeMode

true

Boolean

fit

expand (default)

Defines how table columns should be spaced and behave as users resize them. The two options are:

Expand to fit content (Expand): Columns will expand to show all column header and cell content using a horizontal scroll, if required. As columns are resized the table width will expand/condense based on adjusted columns.
Fit to table width (Fit): Columns will be equally spaced to fit in defined table width. The table width will not change even as columns are resized.

Expand to fit content:

Fit to table width:

allowContentLineBreak

true

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines if long text should appear in multiple lines in column cells.

allowHeaderLineBreak

true

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines if long text should appear in multiple lines in column headers.

selectable

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines that checkboxes are displayed in the first column. This is required for displaying default actions above the table.

allowInvisibleColumns

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines that the user can configure the visible columns. The configuration is stored per user.

Important

When using this configuration also make use of the "name" attribute. Otherwise the layout won't look good.

showPagination

false

Boolean

true (default)

false

Defines if paginations at the bottom of the table should be displayed. Infinite scrolling will be used if pagination is not defined or set to "false".

stickyHeader

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines if the header should be sticky while scrolling through the table.

stickyFirstColumn

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines if the first column should be sticky while scrolling horizontally through the table.

stickyLastColumn

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines if the last column should be sticky while scrolling horizontally through the table.

hideEmptyRows

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines if the empty rows should be hidden within the table. This is particularly useful if you have defined a fixed height in your layout and a large table limit e.g. 100 to display as many results as possible in the table. In case the table then just has non or just a view results it can avoid displaying an unnecessary scroll bar.

Info

This configuration might get replaced by lazy loading.

allowDataExport

false

Boolean

true

false (default)

Defines end users can export the table as CSV or XLSX. Keep in mind that the download might take some time depending on how much data gets exported. The export button will be greyed out while the export is running.

Important

When using this configuration also make use of the "name" attribute. Otherwise the layout won't look good.

density

false

Boolean

standard (default)

compact

relaxed

Defines if the table should be shown with a standard, relaxed, or compact view by changing the row height.

Standard

Compact

Relaxed

Knowledge Model

      - id: HREF_USERNAME
        displayName: Href Username
        pql: '''https://www.google.com/?q='' || "PizzaP2P-fixed_xlsx_Sheet_0"."USER_NAME"' 
        #Defines URL structure
        filterIds: []
        columnType: string

2.) Enable hrefAttribute for your table

View

- id: table
    type: table
    settings:
      data:
        columns:
          - field: ACTIVITY.CASEKEY

You can use a table to update a variable upon clicking a link in a row of your table. This allows you for example display the details of a specific line item right underneath the table component, instead of opening it in a separate profile view.Click here to learn more about the concept of variables here.
