Hello everyone! I have been using Ignition for a short time and I wonder if it is possible to create a table that has the “Subview row” property (like the table on Perspective).
I would like to get a table where clicking on a row opens a sub-line that displays information related to the clicked row.
Thank you all!
I’m using a second table to do something like this. The first table has the primary information about a batch. When they select a row it fill in another table below it with more detailed information. I’ve done this 2 different ways.
On one I used a custom property on the main table that did a lookup on the ID for the selected row. The second table used that ID to run a query to pull up the expanded data I wanted to display.
The second way is I had the first table hold all of the information but hid the rows I didn’t want in the main table. Then I used a property change script to create a dataset, when the selected row changed, then write it to the second table.

It might be a good solution, but I’m not sur if the resulting effect (animation) is like the one in Perspective (example: click on the first row opens a sub-view between the first and the second row).
Unfortunately, this isn’t supported within jtables (the swing component used in vision).
@bpreston has the best option in using a second table. You could get fancy in animating the second table to fly out from the first, but the second table is your best bet.

Rats, hit submit too soon.
This really is a neat idea, though, so I’d also recommend submitting it on the ideas forum:

I thought I could simulate a table with a template repeater and then implement the animation of the lines that move when you click … but it’s really hard!
