Through trial and error the following is the best arrangement Iโve been able to come up with for displaying an inline action in a table. Iโd like to explain my objective and see if this is indeed the best I can hope for.
The user can reorder this table by tapping on either of the headings or reduce the number of items displayed by using a search term. The objective is to choose which words to study in a โcramโ session. The user selects words for study by tapping on the blue box icon (which is an action) and this sets the โCramโ column to โon.โ A format rule changes the box to a checkmark.
It is important to be able to tap on the โCramโ header so that the selected items can be displayed together and then unselected efficiently by tapping on the action.
The current arrangement is acceptable to me but I have a few questions.
I donโt really need to have the โOnโ thumbnail. If I could get the box/check toggle to appear under the โCramโ heading and still be able to reorder when "Cram is tapped, that would be ideal.
I have used an โOnโ pgn (the background of which is set to transparent) because Iโve found that a text column becomes much wider than I want it to be. I havenโt found a good way to control the horizontal spacing with text columns and other types of columns but thumbnails donโt take up much space so I used an โOnโ thumbnail. If I could get a similar appearance with text, I think that might be better.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
How about if you sort the order with the table view definition? Then you could hide that Cram column.
Thanks but I would prefer to leave the capability to order either according to the record number or the word.
I agree that if it were only necessary to sort the table in one way my problem would be solved.
How about a png with just one transparent pixel instead of the On.png?
Or can you try text like " " ?
Or you try with text โ.โ and with format rule you set the text size to 0.2 and uppercase.
Just ideasโฆ
@Kirk_Masden In the Image Column you can put:
โdata:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAIAAACQd1PeAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAADsMAAA7DAcdvqGQAAAAMSURBVBhXY/j//z8ABf4C/qc1gYQAAAAASUVORK5CYII=โ
This is the base64 code for a transparent png with the size 1x1 pixel.
After that you can control the column width by changing the Display Name. Itโs as wide as the column Display Name.
I tried this but I could get it to work. It seems that the width of image columns in table view is predetermined.
Wow! Sorry Iโm so late to respond. Iโll look into this. Thanks!!
