group by on igx-grid show field name and not Column name

485

Pablo De Lucca posted over 4 years ago

Hi:

When I drag a column to group on the grid, two incorrect things happen in my view:
1 - The name of the grouping column shows the name of the field and not the name of the column header. (typeDescEntity doesn't seem to be a user friendly name)
2 - The column in question should be hidden, since it appears in the header of the grouping and in the detail at the same time, which appears a redundancy.

it has a solution?

Paul

HI Martin:

Thanks for your example, but it dont work!

One of the main characteristics of the grouping is to identify the group header, but your example does not!

Each group in the cluster should look like:

Ship Country: Argentina (number of occurrences)
Ship Country: Brazil (number of occurrences)
.
.

But in their examples the groups look like this:

Ship country
Ship country
.
.

Why would I want to group if I cannot distinguish the groups?
It does not make any sense. Even less if the group is contracted !!!
Also missing the number of occurrences in the header

Is it solvable ??

Hello,

Thank you for posting in our community.

My suggestion is to use a group row template to control how the grouping column's fields are displayed. I have created a sample for your reference.

At this point, we do not provide hiding the grouped column. This is a feature request already logged in our repository here and it is currently in the backlog of our development team. You can follow any updates on our GitHub page.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance with this matter.
