Group/Merge Columns in List Form's Grid

Posted on by CBNestor

Hi all,

Is it possible in a grid to group Columns or display like a Title group of columns. Something like the image below.

The Idea is to display all started productions and Compare: the Qty made vs Qty estimated , Time(hours) Made vs Estimated by production operations

here a Layout example:

Probably the operations columns has to be made by code. since each company has different operations.

any other idea and/or possible workaround would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot beforehand!

Hi Nestor C,

it's not possible to add some "group titles" on top of the column titles of a grid.

But since you anyway have to create the grid dynamically, you could as well add some visual indicator about the groupings. Such as different background color for grid fields of different groups.

Or put each group of fields in separate grids.

Hi Nikolaos,

thanks again for fast reply,

I understand what you mean, but I am not clear about the right approach.

I want it to have the look of a listpage like ProdTableListPage. You are saying that I could separate the Operations(Groups) on each grid. that means 20 opr. = 20 Grids total.

Now I have the doubt about the ordering and filtering and scrolling. If I make it per separate grid. then how can I make sure that the row I am seeing on one grid corresponds to the same row (production) of the other grids?? wouldn't it be like a disaster?

by the way is it possible to use the listPage design with many grids.

As I mentioned, you could use color coding to distinguish the groups on a single grid.

Hi Nikolaos,

Probably I did not explained myself so well. How Can I link them in a way the each row will be releated to the row of the prodId.

More specifically I have this example:

I change a little bit the logic. Instead of getting all the OprId fixed, I will group maximun 10 operation Numbers (10 groups), so group column 1 will be OprNum 10, Column2 = OprNum 20, 30...till OprNum 100.

How do I make the Query in order to link each ProdRoute Datasource with the main ProdTable Datasource?

I think Is the first time I try to do something like this in dynamics

I am using a FormListPage by the way.

I really appreciate you help.

thanks a lot!

later I can think of grouping the column by color as you suggested, I don't know if its possible.

Hi Nestor,

There is no feature to do this in grid in AX, but with a bit creativity, you can support it in other way.

For example put a second grid above of your grid and configure the columns like you want.
