Flexgrid design customization - Need more options for a compact look

Etienne CAUSSE

Hi all,

Context

I'm probably not the only one, but I'm missing some design options in the new Flexgrid object, especially regarding cell sizing. Indeed the default design takes too much space, with very big cell margins above and below the data.
Reducing font size does not really solve the problem.
Compared to an equivalent dataview, you just cannot display the same amount of data in the same space, which is a bit annoying and will very likely send all users to Excel rather than use the pivoting/analysis capabilities of the Flexgrid itself.

Idea:

• add options to configure the margin above, below, left and right of the cell content
• provide a more compact default design
• allow text wrap for column headers
• probably a lot of other design options could be added…

Just to anticipate the comment : I checked the existing "density" option, but "compact" is just not compact enough…
