1
Layout Settings

This step is used to set the mandatory Name property - how the Layout will be referenced in the dropdowns in Toolbar, ToolPanel and StatusBar.

Hint

The Name needs to be unique but also ideally easy to identify

The wizard will automatically set the Grid Type radio button to Table

2
Create Row Groups

There are 3 steps involved when configuring Row Grouping:

  • Select the Row Display Type - options are:

    • Single Column - All Row Group Columns share the same "Group" column
    • Multi Column - Every Row Group Column appears as a separate column

  • Select which Columns should be Row Grouped in the Layout (drag to set order of Row Grouping)

    Note

    Only Groupable Columns with enableRowGroup set to true in the Grid Options definition are listed

  • Set the Expanded and Collapsed Behaviour for Row Groups

3
Set Key Column Properties: Visibility, Order, Width and Pinning

Use this step to set the main Column elements of the Layout:

  • Select Column visibility by clicking the Visible checkbox in the Column item.
  • Set Column order by dragging Columns up and down (using dotted icon)

Clicking the down arrow in any Column item displays additional information and props including:

  • Provide an alternative Column Header (in preference to one supplied to AG Grid)
  • Set the Width for the Column
  • Provide Pinning information (e.g. Left or Right)
4
Create Aggregations

Configure which Columns in the Layout will display Aggregations when row grouped

Caution

Only Aggregatable Columns with enableValue set to true in the Grid Options definition are listed

5
Create Row Summaries and Custom Sorts

There are 2 things to set:

  • Row Summaries will display Aggregations for entire Columns, and can be placed either at the top or bottom of the Grid

  • Column Sorts will sort Columns using their specified sort order

Hint

  • Click the sorting icon to select ascending or descending sort order
  • If you have set a Custom Sort for that Column, AdapTable will use that automatically
6
Set any required Column Filters

Define which Column Filters should be applied to the Layout.

Hint

This is useful if you wish to define Column Filters for a Layout which is not currently selected

7
Set the Grid Filter

Create a Grid Filter for filtering across multliple columns.

8
See Layout Summary

The final step of the Wizard displays a Summary of all that was chosen in the above steps.
