Add in "Layout settings" an option for the user to select how to display entity members.

Hello @Product Management Team ,

I would like to share an idea from a customer that could be helpful for dataviews. I don't think I found another article with the same precise request.

Functional requirement and known limitation :

  • Let the "User" visualize the entity members "by row" (or "by column") with a different display from the original configuration.

  • Current "User Experience" : must make 6 clicks to update the dataview
    • → Layout Settings
    • → Layout Editor
    • → Axes
    • → By Row : Member Display mode "Default" → Example : "Code", or "Code and Description"…
    • → Repeat on "By Column" if needed
    • → Click on "Save"
  • Action is repeated for each dataview on screen

My Ideas :


1 - "Add a Icon in the "layout settings"

In one of the 2 bars below from the "Layout Settings" to add a new "Icon" (button) with the possibility for the user to select the display of the entity members of the dataview with the following options. (Drop Down list)

  • Member Display Mode :
    • Default
    • Code
    • Description
    • Code and Description


2 - "Add a Icon in the "Open Menu"


Another proposal is to add this option on the "Open Menu" bar with a specific Icon next to "My View" ?

This idea is probably more difficult to implement, where the "Member Display Mode" option will be sensitive to all layout (and not only dataviews ?) in the screen.


Current articles :

I found the article below with a similar request, in my case it's not about the layout configuration but to add a "layout settings" a new option to help the user experience visualisation, to let him display more easily the view of dataviews mostly on Reporting screens.


Thank you for reading (and voting 😀)
