change table/dataview from pivot to flat list

Barbara Mayrleitner

We are regularly getting the question from users if it's possible to change the standard BOARD pivoted table to a flat list. I know this functionality also from other BI-Tools and it would be great if the user can decide via dataview-menu if he wants to have a flat list shown. Default can be still the pivoted view, but the option to change it would be great.

(similiar to possibility when exporting data to excel)

Hello @Barbara Mayrleitner,

Maybe I misunderstood. There's a function to flatten a list if you have more than one entity on row.

Hi Samir

If I understood correctly the requets is for the front end user to switch between pivot and flattened view as a self service functionality.

Kind regards
