Data Table [Assets]

Data Table is a component designed to display large or small amounts of data in rows and columns. It has built-in search, sort and filter functionalities.  

The following are authoring guidelines for the Assets Data Table.  See also guides for CSV Data Tables, Content Fragment Data Tables, and Manual Data Tables.

• Asset Root Path: Specify the path to find the assets you would like to include in the chart
  • Fetch all assets under the root path: Check this box if you would like to include assets in child folders within the Root Path.    
• Tags: If you choose to sort by multiple tags, please indicate if you would like to show items that include all of the tags or any of the tags.
• Enable Search: select if you would like users to be able to search the asset table
• Enable Filters: Select if you want users to be able to filter your table by certain parameters
• Enable Pagination: Check if you want to enable pagination of the table.
• Number of rows before pagination: Specify how many rows display in your table before pagination occurs.

Options for Columns: 

• Select the Column Heading based on the available parameters in the pull down.  Depending on what Column you are setting up you may see any of these options:
  
• Column Details
  • For Title, Description, Type, Revision Number, Reference Page:
    • If  using Search to filter assets, indicate if the search operator "contains", "Is equal to", or "is not equal to" the keyword provided.
    • Keyword for the search operator above
      
    • Enable Filters
      
    • Enable Sorting
      
    • Choose Sorting Order Ascending or Descending
      
    • Indicate if you would like to choose this column as the default sorting for the table
      
    • Enable Linking
      
      • If linking is enabled, specify if this item opens in a new window
  • For Asset Date, Revision Date, Fields, Meeting Date, Report Date:
    
    • Set a start and end date for items to include in your table.
  • For For Audiences, Category, Topic, Tags:
    
    • Select a tag by which to filter
      
    • Specify if you want to display items that match any tag, or all of them.
  • For Asset Type, Meeting Type, Report Frequency:
    
    • select accepted options from pulldown
      

• Column Display:
  • Hide Column from Table (You can use this as a criteria for whether or not the item displays, while not necessarily using this criteria for display)
    
  • Place column in Child Row: This will collapse indicated column so it needs to be expanded to display.  This can aid in the visual display of a table on the page by reducing the number of columns that display by default.
  • Increase Column Width: There may be times when you want to increase the width of a column for better visual display. Use this setting to increase the width of a column by a value of 1-5.  The higher the number the wider the column will display. 

Here is an example of a Data Table built by pointing to a folder of assets and arranging 3 columns to display the Title, Description, and Asset type for each item in the chart.

Please note that sorting has been enabled for both the title and Asset Type and the Description has been set to display as a Child of each row.
