In Ignition 8.0.0, I could freeze columns or rows of tables in Perspective by holding ALT and double-clicking the column header or row. This is, in fact, documented here, under “User Interaction”: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Perspective+-+Table](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Perspective+-+Table) We are currently running Ignition 8.0.2 and this functionality seems to be missing. Has anyone seen similar behavior? Is this a known bug in Ignition 8.0.2? ---

Hi, Sorry for the inconvenience. The table component went through some major architectural refactoring to make way for the Alarm Status Table and quite a few feature requests. During this refactor, the freezing of table column and rows was classified as a low priority item to be reintroduced at a later date. You are the first since to bring it up. The task is currently sitting in our backlog to be worked on this week. I will update you as soon as it is reintroduced. Thanks! -Yousuf ---

Thanks for the response, Yousuf! Slightly related question - do you know if there was or will be a way to freeze specific columns/rows automatically (via scripting, perhaps) such that the user will not have to use the ALT + double-click combo every time they load the View that contains a table? - Jeff ---

Hi, That’s a feature that’s been tossed around for a while. It’s very likely that we can make it happen. I will add it to the ticket. -Yousuf ---

Are there any news on this missing feature? I run into the same issue and didn’t find a way to freeze a column in version 8.0.16. It is still in the documentation but it seems like there is no way to use it. ---

@ynejati Is there any update on column freezing feature? ---

Hi, The ALT + double clicking the column is not working for me. How exactly this works or is there any way to freeze a column in a Table ---

Hi @mahalakshmi.b Here is my workaround please see attached: > [@How to freeze a column in table](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-freeze-a-column-in-table/92736/3): > > Yes it is possible it doesn't work immediately because you need the inset properties and you need it to attach to the correct parent. Here is how you do it: Set position: sticky; Set atleast one of the inset properties: i.e (left:0; since we want it on the left) Ensure it attaches to correct ancestor by checking there are no hidden scrolling areas between the ancestor of choice and the sticky component (See attached [https://polypane.app/blog/getting-stuck-all-the-ways-position-sticky-can-fail…](https://polypane.app/blog/getting-stuck-all-the-ways-position-sticky-can-fail/)
