When Row is Expanded: Expand Settings

joselv

I am playing around with the row expansion feature and noticed that the far left column with the icon is way too big. But I do not see anywhere to modify this, even the icon.

Anyone know where I can toggle this? The sales portal example has it right. But I cannot find the settings.

Can you do a screen shot like below for us.

Secondly, does this happen with all queries or just one?

Update: I have a feeling your first column in the query has no data and you have turned of the heading label. Can you check?

Ben,

See below. I dont have any issues with the data loading. It just that the far left column, the one that has the expander icon, is taking too much space.

BenHayat

Does this happen to only that query or all queries?

joselv

It is happening to the two objects I have tried to implement the row expander feature on.

This is what it is looking like. See below.

Support, can you please chime in here and explain why the tick expander icon is doing this and how to fix it? You obviously got it figured in the Sales Portal example.

That is Kendo theme, which is probably the best in terms of spacing/proportions, etc., except for the orange (which could be changed).
Is the expand row icon column also excessively wide in Bootstrap and, say, Silver themes?

joselv

Same in metro

joselv

same for silver

maybe it's an anomaly to do with the query itself being in a tabbed form.
can you send a picture of the entire screen.
I have lots of different dummy bsv's that I use for testing and bug finding.
I can probably simulate your layout quickly and confirm if it does it for me, and narrow down the conditions under which it occurs.

also, I suggest doing an experiment:
Add a Delete PANEL operation button to the query at the top , but tick the "Applies to Multiple Items" checkbox in the dialog for adding the operation, so that a column of checkboxes is added which can be ticked to delete multiple items.
Does it still do it then?

Attached.

This is a form with an expanding row that opens up the editing form for the expanded object. It just similar to the Sales Portal example, where you expand the line item and then see the form for the product.

pureist,

I will try that this evening, gotta head out to the office now. 🙁

Thanks!

pureist

so..

'Well Profile' is a form which opens in the only Tab of the Main frame (the tab itself is hidden)?
the 'Well Profile' form itself has multiple sections/tabs?
the 'Zones' tab of the 'Well Profile' form contains a reference attribute query with expanding rows, which when expanded display the editing form for the reference attribute object?
the reference attribute query has its Title Bar hidden?

Jose, you need to create a small test BSV and send it to Support to show the problem. Then need the BSV to see what CSS is being generated live to fix the problem.

Do the other columns have a set width?

My guess is that this is the result of the other columns having a set width and the expand column "auto-sizing" to fill the width specified for the grid.

I think you're right John. If ALL other columns have fixed width, then it might affect this column.

pureist

John is correct, in that having a fixed width setting for each/all columns of a query will result in the width of the checkbox column being automatically changed.
Leave the fixed width setting for one of the columns blank.
When you have fixed width settings for all columns it doesn't actually respect them INITIALLY, but instead scales all columns up in width to fit neatly in the width of the query proportionately according to their individual widths as a percentage of the sum total of all column' fixed widths.
However, 'all columns' includes the checkbox column, and shouldn't.
This proportional scaling is useful when you want all columns to reduce in width proportionately as the screen width reduces, down to the fixed widths specified, at which point the horizontal scroll bar appears.
The very large width of your checkbox column might be another story, as I could reproduce the effect described above and get the checkbox column to increase in width, but couldn't get it to become as wide as shown in your pic.

can we add a custom icon to expand query option?

aware_support

Yes, if you override the default in your custom CSS file
