Enhanced grid (Dojo) (Web-only)

The Enhanced grid widget is responsible for rendering a Dojo table. The rendered table is read-only.

This widget renders data supplied by the following components:

The following figure shows how an Enhanced grid widget appears on a transformation, using data similar to that shown in the Table component example as input.

Note:

This figure shows the widget appearance when using the Dojo Claro theme. The widget might appear differently when using a different Dojo theme.

Example of Dojo Enhanced grid widget — Figure 1. Dojo Enhanced grid widget example

When using the Dojo Claro theme, default rendering of the Enhanced grid widget includes a row selector column as the first column in the table. Users can click cells in this column to select rows to drag to another location in the table. To select multiple consecutive rows, click the first row, press Shift, and click the last row, or click the first row and holding down the mouse, swipe to the last row. To select multiple nonconsecutive rows, press Ctrl while clicking each row. To drag, click the selected row, or rows, and drag.

Note:

If focus is on a cell or row of the table, pressing the Enter key is handled by the widget and not sent to the host application.

Another function of the default rendering of the Enhanced grid widget includes a sort function. You can sort rows by column contents in ascending or descending order and remove a sort. You can also perform a nested sort, that is, sorting a second column nested within a sorted first column.

Note:

Sorting of columns is based on simple string comparison. Therefore some strings, for example date strings of format mm/dd/yy, do not sort as expected.

To perform a sort, click the column heading as shown in the example below.
