Collapsible Section Headers

It would be amazing if we could turn on the ability for Show (Section Header) columns to be collapsible.

  • Naturally I would prefer this to NOT be a global setting, and controlled on the individual column’s settings.

I think this would really help people with showing lots of data on the screen, but broken up into subsections that are hidden conditionally until the user taps on them - this way people aren’t overwhelmed.

  • Users love this “give ME the ability to specify what I want to see” type of thing. (Just look at the appsheet editor, )

As always, thanks for considering! 3X_d_5_d51363a862e7ab883241c312ac5d7f271579cdd3.gif

I was just about to post a similar idea and the search engine brought me to this. I was thinking: how come you can't collapse content? I support this idea 100%.

Hi,

In the meantime, I achieved this with inline actions attached to a column designed just to "hold" the show/hide actions.

This is how it works: https://youtu.be/9TbPApvIbcQ

It looks really cool. You could create something in the tips & tricks section and I'm sure it would have a lot of impact. In fact, you could put the link to the community in your YouTube video.

@Suvrutt_Gurjar yours looks better and more complex 👍 
I took a shortcut and was too lazy to format it 😅

No worries @AlexM 

Yours is also great concept. Once the concept is good,  you can always refine it. Keep exceling👍

I tried to make it work in multi user environment. So I believe the implementation is a bit extensive because each user's setting will need to hold seprately.

To add something, regarding our colleague @Suvrutt_Gurjar , that is the attitude!! People like you are what we need in this community. Keep contributing!
