PageColumn Hover View

Prev Next

Overview

In legacy Construct, the PageColumn (or column-level) Hover View displayed detailed record information when users hovered over specific columns. PageColumn Hover View shows detail specific to that column and uses different hover views for different columns.

Cloud Construct does not support hover-based column-level detail views, but you can implement similar functionality with click-to-detail patterns.

Updated Methodology

Approach A: Column Header Tooltip

Configure static tooltip on column headers using the Tooltip field. Users see guidance when hovering column header. Limited to static text, not data-driven

Configure the parent grid (master) container with the required columns from the dataset and form (detail) containers with fields that provides additional/supplemental information.

Option A: Single Detail Form (Simple)

  • Detail form shows comprehensive row information

  • Same detail form for all columns

  • User clicks a cell/row and the form shows all related data

Works when all columns need the same detail context

Option B: Column-Specific Detail Forms (Advanced)

  • Different detail containers for different columns using data bindings

  • Each detail form is bound to show different data based on the selected column

Option C: Additional Hidden Columns in Grid

Consider whether the hover view content should simply be additional hidden columns in the grid. Use is_hidden_on_grid_by_default: true for each additional column and make them available via the Choose Columns in grid’s menu.
