Table Data Drill-down Options?

    Hi –

    Love the plugin so far! Super easy to use and my table looks sharp and performs great. I’m hoping to take it to the next level now. I’d love for a user to be able to click on a row in my table and have that take them to detailed results on that row. This could mean linking to a separate page with detailed data on that row, or potentially just expanding that row on our same table/page to see the added detail.

    My Google sheet has 50+ columns of data, but right now, by design we are only displaying 10 columns (that’s all I selected in the UI to display). However, for users that would like to go deeper on a given row, i’d like them to be able to see a much more in-depth view on that row (using more/all of the 50 columns, again, either in an expanded look within the same table, or linking out to a new page).

    I’ve tried to look for how I can easily do this. I see some options such as transform or linking out to a url within the row, but the problem is, these urls do not yet exist. And I’d prefer to not have to manually create 2000+ new urls (one for each of our rows of data essentially).

    Is there a way to do this with your plugin? Or by combining your plugin with another plugin? Or will I unfortunately need a different solution altogether?

    (Note, the actual table is only on a private page now and not publicly available, hence why the URL just goes to a screenshot).

    Thanks!

    Hello @rabell,

    Thank you for your kind words about the Ninja Tables plugin! We’re glad to hear that you find it easy to use and that it meets your performance and design expectations.

    Regarding your query about allowing users to click on a row in the table and view more detailed results, we have a feature in Ninja Tables called “Column Responsive Breakpoint” that might be just what you need. With this feature, you can configure different breakpoints for your table, meaning you can display different sets of columns based on the device’s width. This way, you can have a concise view with only essential columns on smaller screens and expand the view to show more columns on larger screens.

    You won’t need to create thousands of new URLs for each row manually. Instead, you can utilize this responsive feature to adjust the table’s appearance and content dynamically based on the user’s device. It should give you the flexibility to provide a more in-depth view without cluttering the table on smaller screens.

    For more detailed instructions and guidance on how to use the Column Responsive Breakpoint feature, you can check our documentation at the following link: [Link to Documentation]

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help you take your table to the next level!

    Thank you

    Thanks Numan, this is exciting! So I tried it, and it’s a nice step forward. However, two follow-up questions: 1. is there a way that instead of it expanding as new subrows within, it pops out a modal window?

    2. if the subrow functionality is the only way, that’s fine, although you can see in this screenshot the formatting isn’t ideal: https://snipboard.io/9zIEiW.jpg. . Each datapoint takes its own subrow, and there’s a ton of whitespace, instead of organizing or stacking in a cleaner fashion. Is there a way to adjust or customize this?

    Thanks!

    Rick
