Thanks for bringing it up. I will credit this feature to you.

Yes indeed - I was actually at Appian World this year and saw the 19.2 preview demonstration where they revealed it, it was very exciting.

Not only that but they've actually completely revamped the paging grid component, making it just a tad simpler to use, while also adding some other long-needed features, including the ability to manually set relative column widths, as well as having column header help tooltips. They also seem to have brought back the "go to last page" paging tool for smaller data sets, which is nice too.

Hi Mike,

I think this has been provided in 19.2.

Thanks for bringing it up.

Thank you for starting this thread. It will be very beneficial to have a new rich text column. I don't want to mention this but grids have taken center stage in application development from records to forms, its everywhere. All designers like it and want it to be powerful. Paging grids is super easy to use but offered very limited capabilities and is missing in action on enhancements.

Please also consider adding following requests on paging grid -

1) Ability to wrap long column headers on next line - It doesn't wrap column headers automatically, very painful to justify to customer.

2) Configure column widths - Would be handy if column widths can be allocated during design time

3) Ability to split up columns into multiple cells or sub columns. See below for reference.

4) Ability to split up rows into multiple sub rows

5) Provide an ability to display a hover text on every cell. This however can be accomplished through rich text icon (NOT available in paging grid for use) but text field should also have a tool tip option, we just can't use an image or icon to display hover text when there is no need for an image or icon. This is very critical for heavy data tables and simply eliminates a need of adding additional supporting columns, if hover text is available. For instance, displaying a description on hover of status codes or providing more reasoning on what it signifies.

See how input 1 column is split into three cells. This is available on Decision Designer Interface and would be extremely useful for highly complex tables. Also provide an ability to split column headers into multiple cells, this would not leave any room for limitations on data representations.

We would take advantage of this as well!

I also agree that this will be a very useful feature to majority of Appian users and designers.

Agreed. So much of the work we do involves interactive, tabulated data and often user experience suffers for lack of flexibility

great! i have experienced a great need for this feature set quite frequently--hope this can be implemented soon for everyone to enrich these paging grids!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to pass these suggestions along to the relevant stakeholders on our end.
