Power Table Row Separators

Ignition

I am displaying data for multiple machines in a single table. I would like to visually split the rows by machine by introducing a row that spans across all columns and has the machine name as the text. What are my options?

perfect…

        spanHeaders = ['row','column','width','height']
		spanData = []
		
		rowIndex = 0
		for wc in wcDs.getUnderlyingDataset().getColumnAsList(0):
			ctl = {'type':'WC','data':wc}
			data.append([system.util.jsonEncode(ctl),'','','','',''])
			spanData.append([rowIndex,1,5,1])
			rowIndex+=1
			for i in range(0,3):
				ctl2 = {'type':'DATA'}
				data.append([system.util.jsonEncode(ctl2),'test1','test2','test3','test4','test5'])
				rowIndex+=1
				
		self.setCellSpanData(system.dataset.toDataSet(spanHeaders, spanData))

@cmisztur2 Thanks for sharing your code. Where did you find out that the method “getColumnAsList(0)” was available for “getUnderlyingDataset()”

Hmmm, good question. I thought maybe in the docs: ignition 7.9.4-beta1 API
but maybe I did a dir on the object to list attributes...

Most datasets you encounter in the designer or client are instances of a AbstractDataset, which extends the Dataset interface to include that method.
