Editable Grid Component Share Share via LinkedIn Reddit Email Copy Link Print On This Page SAIL Design System guidance available for Grids Grids should help your users take action and make decisions. Check out the grids design guidance page to learn how to display your data in a structured, easy-to-scan layout to help your users find what they need. Function a!gridLayout( label, instructions, headerCells, columnConfigs, rows, validations, validationGroup, selectable, selectionDisabled, selectionRequired, selectionValue, selectionSaveInto, addRowLink, totalCount, emptyGridMessage, helpTooltip, labelPosition, showWhen, shadeAlternateRows, spacing, height, borderStyle, selectionStyle, rowHeader, accessibilityText, allowRowReordering, rowOrderTooltip, rowOrderData, rowOrderField ) Displays a tabular layout of SAIL components to provide quick inline editing of fields. For an example of how to configure an editable grid, see the Add, Edit, and Remove Data in an Inline Editable Grid SAIL Recipe. Parameters Name Keyword Types Description Label label Text Text to display as the grid label. Instructions instructions Text Supplemental text about this grid. Header Cells headerCells List of Variant Array of column headers created with a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(). Column Configurations columnConfigs List of GridColumnConfiguration Array of column configurations created with a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(). Rows rows List of Variant Array of grid rows created with a!gridRowLayout(). Validations validations List of Variant Validation errors to display below the grid. Validation Group validationGroup Text When present, the requiredness of the field is only evaluated when a button in the same validation group is pressed. The value for this parameter cannot contain spaces. For example, “validation group” is not a valid value. You need to add an underscore between words: “validation_group”. See the following recipes for more information: Configure Buttons with Conditional Requiredness Validation Groups for Buttons with Multiple Validation Rules' Selectable selectable Boolean Determines if the selection column is displayed. Default: false. Selection disabled selectionDisabled Boolean Determines if selection is disabled on all rows. Default: false. Selection required selectionRequired Boolean Determines if a selection is required to submit the form. Default: false. Selection Value selectionValue List of Variant Identifiers of selected rows. Save Selection To selectionSaveInto List of Save One or more variables that are updated with the selected identifiers when the user changes selections. Use a!save() to save a modified or alternative value to a variable. Add Row Link addRowLink Any Type Link for adding a row to the grid. Create link using a!dynamicLink(). Total Count totalCount Number (Integer) Number of rows of data displayed in the grid. Empty Grid Message emptyGridMessage Text Text to display in the grid when no data is available. Default is "No items available". Help Tooltip helpTooltip Text Displays a help icon with the specified text as a tooltip. The tooltip displays a maximum of 500 characters. The help icon does not show when the label position is "COLLAPSED". Label Position labelPosition Text Determines where the label appears. Valid values: "ABOVE" (default) Displays the label above the component. "ADJACENT" Displays the label to the left of the component. "COLLAPSED" Hides the label. The label will still be read by screen readers; see accessibility considerations for more information. "JUSTIFIED" Aligns the label alongside the component starting at the edge of the page. Visibility showWhen Boolean Determines whether the component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and is not evaluated. Default: true. Shade alternate rows shadeAlternateRows Boolean Determines whether alternate rows are shaded. Default: true. Spacing spacing Text Determines the spacing within grid cells. Valid values: "STANDARD" (web default), "DENSE" (mobile default). Height height Text Determines the height of the grid. Valid values: "SHORT", "SHORT_PLUS", "MEDIUM", "MEDIUM_PLUS", "TALL", "TALL_PLUS", "EXTRA_TALL", "AUTO" (default). All grid heights besides AUTO have fixed headers that will remain at the top of the grid when scrolling. Border Style borderStyle Text Determines the style of the grid border. Valid values: "STANDARD" (default), "LIGHT". Selection Style selectionStyle Text Determines the style when a row is selected. Valid values: "CHECKBOX" (default), "ROW_HIGHLIGHT". Row Header rowHeader Number (Integer) Index of the column to be used as the row header. Screen readers will announce the value in each row header when navigating to other cells within that row. Used only for accessibility; produces no visible change. Accessibility Text accessibilityText Text Additional text to be announced by screen readers. Used only for accessibility; produces no visible change. Allow row reordering using drag and drop allowRowReordering Boolean Determines if grid rows can be reordered by dragging and dropping (browser only). Default: false. Show row order tooltip rowOrderTooltip Boolean Determines whether a tooltip with row reordering keyboard shortcuts is shown in the header of the row order column. Default: true. Data to reorder rowOrderData Any Type A local variable or rule input that points to the list of data that is updated when the rows are reordered. For example, a record type query or a map defined in a local variable. Row order field rowOrderField Any Type The field in rowOrderData that stores the updated index of a row after it is reordered. For example, if rowOrderData uses a record type, add a Number (Integer) field to the record type and reference it, such as recordType!Record.field.orderIndex. If it uses a map, add a key value pair to the map and reference the key name, such as "orderIndex". Usage considerations Performance and data Performance is affected by the number of components in an interface. If your interface contains an editable grid with many cells, the interface may feel slow. See also: Interface Evaluation Lifecycle When using a datasubset obtained using a!queryEntity() as the source of data for the editable grid, make sure to set its fetchTotalCount parameter to true. Otherwise, the totalCount field on the resulting datasubset may be invalid (i.e. set to -1). This is relevant for the totalCount parameter on the editable grid. See also: a!queryEntity() Function. Component behavior in grid cells When an interface component is placed into a grid cell, the following component configurations are ignored: label instructions label position Validation messages on the component within the grid cell are displayed when the component's value is not null. The components placed within a grid cell can be different across the rows in one column. Using images in editable grids When placing an Image Field component inside an editable grid, there are some additional restrictions that do not apply when an image component is outside of a grid. The image component behaves slightly differently when it is placed inside of a Grid Layout component than when it is outside of a Grid Layout. Inside an editable grid, the image size FIT is not allowed. Inside an editable grid, the default size for an image component is ICON. Other valid image sizes include SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE. Inside an editable grid, you can only have 0 or 1 images in an image component. Multiple images in the same grid cell are not supported. All image components in the same column must have the same size. The Grid Text Column and Grid Image Column components cannot be used in an editable grid. Grid height and headers Grid heights behave as a fixed height on web but a maximum height on mobile. Setting the height of the grid to SHORT, MEDIUM, or TALL will freeze the grid's header and footer. See the Short Editable Grid with Weighted Columns example below. For accessibility purposes, every grid should have a row header configured. The first column containing text is usually the correct choice for row header. See the SAIL Design System for more information. Reordering grid rows You can allow users to reorder the grid by dragging and dropping the rows. Simply configure a few parameters and add a field to your source that will allow you to store the data. See Editable grid with grid row reordering for examples. See Appian Mobile considerations for important information about grid row reordering in Appian Mobile. To enable grid row reordering: Set the allowRowReordering parameter to true. Set the rowOrderData parameter to a local variable or rule input that is being used for the grid data. Add a field to your record type or CDT of type Number (Integer) and name it something like "orderIndex". Set the rowOrderField parameter to one of the following: If you're using a record type for the grid data, reference the record type field that you added in the previous step. For example, recordType!Record.field.orderIndex. If you're using a CDT or map for the grid data, enter the name of the field that you added in the previous step as a string. For example, "orderIndex". Using the rowOrderData parameter For the rowOrderData parameter, reference a local variable or rule input that is being used for the grid data. For example, for a local variable, this could be a query created with a!queryRecordType() or a!queryEntity() that returns a list of data. For example: 1 2 3 4 local!data: a!queryRecordType( recordType: recordType!Employee, pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 100) ).data Using the rowOrderField parameter For the rowOrderField parameter, reference a field that stores the index of the row order. The field that you reference in the rowOrderField parameter: Should be Number (Integer). Cannot be a field in a related record. To reference a field in the rowOrderField parameter: If you're using a record type for the grid data, reference the record type field. For example, recordType!Record.field.orderIndex. If you're using a CDT or map for the grid data, enter the name of the field as a string. For example, "orderIndex". Accessibility considerations If you are concerned about accessibility for users who cannot use a mouse to drag items, provide an alternative way to reorder grid rows for users with mobility impairments. For example, you could add arrows that can be clicked to reorder the rows. Appian Mobile considerations In Appian Mobile, users will not be able to reorder grid rows. If you have grid row reordering enabled, users will need to view the interface in a browser to be able to reorder the rows. Examples To experiment with examples, copy and paste the expression into an interface object.
