SmartClient Eval 9.0p 01-19-2014
Looking for suggestions on how to tackle a kind of specific scenario.
We have several rows of data where 3 columns tend to be mostly similar. To avoid data overload, our client would like to group / roll up these mostly similar rows into a single expandable / collapsible row.
My question is, how should we achieve this?
We've tried the multi-group but this creates a set of nested entries that are 3 levels deep (based on the 3 columns). We also don't need this since everything rolled up will have the same value for each of these 3 columns.
What we need is actually a group-by composite column rather than group-by 3 columns if that makes sense.
I tried creating a sort of "virtual column" being returned from the DB call, grouping by that, and then hiding it. This works, but we are having a hard time overriding the text that shows up in the summary row.
Another issue we have with this approach (using group summaries) is that we also use checkbox selection method. Is there a way to enable "select all" for each grouped-by row?
If you need more details, please let me know... I can put together some mock data.
