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

• tables header row should always be centered
• text columns should always have alignment to left
• numeric columns should always have alignment to right
• watch out: the Number column is almost always a text column
• unit and currency columns should have alignment to left

Columns with fixed sizes

The following types of columns should have fixed sizes:

• Unit - to fit up to 5 small chars
• Cur. - a.k.a. currency - to fit up to 3 large chars
• Number - 15 large chars

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:

• the grid is expected to be permanently small while working in production
• in most cases it will never have more then 10 rows
• it will almost never have more then 20 rows

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