DataView scrolling: fix top entities

Manuel Beyeler

Hi,

To ease the navigation in a data view with several entities by row and a large number of rows it would be helpful to have the option to choose that some top entities stay on top of the layout when scrolling.

Assume we have the following row structure with entities A and B and entity A is set to be fixed on top.

A1
    B1
    B2
    B3
A2
    B4
    B5


The layout shows only 3 rows:

A1
   B1
   B2


when scrolling down I would like that A1 stays on top as long as some data of A1 is left:

A1
   B3
A2

But it should disappear when there is no more data:

A2
   B4
   B5


Of course it would be nice to choose up to which level the entities should be fixed on top (like we can already choose the flattening level).
