Group Labels Enhancement

This feature allows you to switch your Group Label display from the default repeated Group Label display to a single "sticky" Group Label display that is shown at the top of the configured table.  You will find this Group Labels option will reduce the space required for displaying Group Labels, while also providing the information you need to review Group By tables containing many groupings.

In the example below, the default selection for the Show/Hide Content option for Group Labels,  where the option is selected.  Each Group By row has the Group Labels displayed.

Group Labels Default Configuration

The example below shows the repeated Group Labels displayed for each Group By row - highlighted with an X.

Show/Hide Table Content Group Labels Default Example

In the example below, the Group By option is unchecked, with this setup the Group Labels view is switched to a single row with the Group Labels providing the same Group Label information, but in a more space efficient way.

Show/Hide Table Content Group Labels Unchecked

The example below shows the single Group Labels row versus the repeated rows displayed above, providing a cleaner more space efficient view.

Show/Hide Table Content Group Labels Unchecked Example

The unchecked Group Labels option also provides a Group Labels view that is "sticky", meaning that the Group Labels do not scroll off the screen as you scroll down.

"Sticky" Group Labels

The last improvement provided by this enhancement is a better offsetting - with shading - of the Group By row and the Details within the Group.  In the example below, the shading for the Group By row for the South Delivery Region is offset, slightly, from the 8 detail rows in the South Delivery Region group.

Group By Shading Improvement

This feature improves usability of the Group By feature by reducing the space required for displaying Group Labels, while still providing the information you need to review your Group By tables.

Steps to Enable

To take advantage of this feature, the Group Labels option must be unchecked as shown below, when unchecked the Group Labels view will be switched to a single row view - as explained above.
