Standard grid ribbon buttons

Whenever we say that a main grid should have standard grid buttons in the ribbon area then we mean this:

Text alignment

Mockups won't have those alignments as it impossible to do with Balsamiq. Nevertheless we should always use the above conventions if the spec text does not say otherwise.

Columns with fixed sizes

The following types of columns should always have fixed sizes:

Their size is configurable in the systems parameters: Fixed column sizes configuration

We should also apply fix sizes for other columns that: are likely to have short and similar number of chars in their values. They don't always have to be configurable.

Mockups do not specify column widths. Use these guidelines and common sense then implementing them.

QCADOOMESCLS-626 will give us the possibility to do this in reports.

 

Numeric columns with suffix

This convention applies to grids that are fully under the developers control and to the default order of configurable columns.

Filtrability

All columns that can be technically filtered should be made filterable if the spec does not say differently.

Filters showed or hidden by default

The filter should be showed by default if:

See description for grid or lookup on View components for information how to do it.
