Horizontal Scrolling Tables

[peterdykstra]

Depending on your device screen size and number of columns you intend to display, your app Table Views may overflow off the right end of your view. To make sure your users can quickly reference data from larger tables (or on smaller devices), you can now scroll the table horizontally with a mouse or touchscreen.

To enable Horizontal Scrolling Tables, visit UX > Options > Table View. We recommend also enabling ‘Column Headers’ at the same time to more easily recognize the data from each column as you scroll.

This is a nice feature.

Some suggestions for improvement:

• Allow freezing of the first column
• When using iOS devices, allow dragging anywhere within the view to scroll horizontally and not just along the column headers

Freezing is most important, but give an option where the app developer can decide the number of columns to freeze.

I just reported to support@appsheet.com to give heads up.

On UI option setting window, the setting for horizontal scrolling on/off option is gone now. Obviously a bug, and should not be happening only to me.

Hey Tsuji-

They have included this in their release notes

Upcoming changes to the Table View - Horizontal Scrolling Feature Release Notes

Hi App Creators, As part of the efforts for the App UI Refresh, as of November 2nd all Table Views for new and existing apps will have Horizontal Scrolling enabled all the time. App Creators won’t be able to choose between ON and OFF for “Horizontal Scrolling” Under UX > Options >Table View. Why is this happening? In order to support new features, better functionality and styling, we are moving away from a fixed Table View. We believe this will positively impact our editors and their users in…

Thank you for sharing, I completely overlooked this announcement, thank you.

My apps have horizontal scrolling as default, but I cannot turn it off, the UX > Options > Table View doesnot have this option

[Aleksi]

Nowadays the options is set automatically and I’m afraid you can’t set it as OFF anymore.

Any update on the column freezing ?

The horizontal scrolling is not working properly. See this post:

New Bug Encountered : Horizontal Scrolling in iOS Questions

Hello, I have been having issues while Horizontal scrolling on my iOS devices. (iPhone, iPad mini) Sometimes the horizontal scrolling in table view works smoothly but sometimes it stops responding for a couple of seconds. Have to then scroll a couple of times to make it work. It seems super glitchy sometimes. It works fine in the Appsheet editor and desktop view. Is this happening to anyone else? How can we fix this? @Aleksi @Steve

This has been happening for months now. Contacted support. No response yet.

Thanks.
