DList Column Freeze Feature

Overview

A new usability enhancement has been introduced in DList tables called the Column Freeze Feature. This functionality allows users to freeze specific columns while scrolling through wide tables, improving data readability and usability.

Feature Description

• Checkboxes are now available in the first five column headers of the DList table.
• When a user selects a checkbox in any of these column headers:
  • All columns from the start of the table up to the selected column will be frozen.
  • The user can continue scrolling horizontally, while the frozen columns remain fixed in place.
• If no checkbox is selected, the table behaves normally with free horizontal scrolling.

This feature is designed to replicate the familiar “Freeze Panes” functionality in Excel, making it easier for users to manage large datasets without losing context.

Benefits

• Improved Navigation: Keeps important identifiers (like Sr. No, Activity ID, Activity Name) always visible while scrolling.
• Better Accuracy: Reduces errors by ensuring key reference data is fixed on screen.
• Excel-like Experience: Familiar and user-friendly interaction.
• Flexibility: Users can choose exactly how many columns they want to freeze.

Availability

This feature is now active across all ERP forms that use DList tables in our new version (24.02). No additional configuration is required by the user.
