Layout Options
Auto Row Height Based On The Contents Of The Cells
The height of Each cell will change automatically based on the contents of the cell to show all content in the view. The row height will be calculated on the cell containing the most content (either image, text or numbers).
Selection Options
Select the row with just one click.
Multiple Row Selection
When using devices where Ctrl and Shift is not an option, turn on this feature where each click of a row will keep all rows selected. Clicking on a selected cell will deselect the row.
Enable Allow Multiple Rows To Be Selected
When selected users can highlight multiple rows, when disabled only a single row can be selected. Each selection of a new row will de-select the previous selection.
Enable Compact Mode
Make supertables compact for a clean and concise look, a very useful feature for clean-looking dashboards
Enable/Disable Sidebar
Enable the option to show or hide the sidebar in the SuperTables extension for Dashboard users. You can also individually set this option for only the
Columns panel
Filter panel
Formulas panel
Enable Quick Filters
This option lets you toggle the visibility of quick filters in the column headers of your SuperTable.
Enable Filter Menu When Hovering Column In Header
When hovering over any column a hamburger menu will appear allowing users to pin columns, auto size and much more. Dashboard creators now have the option to disable. This can give a more focused SuperTable for your users.
Enable/disable status bar
This option lets you toggle the visibility of the status bar in your SuperTable. The status bar is shown in SuperTables at the bottom and holds information on the total number of rows and filtered rows.
Rearrange SuperTables from right to left
RTL stands for ‘Right To Left’. This gives the SuperTable users the option to rearrange their SuperTable for it to read from the right to the left of the screen.
Always Show Sorting Icon In Header
Keep the ‘sorting’ icon in the header at all times when enabling this. This will show less experienced users how easy it can be to sort on each header.
Enable Pagination
Show pagination at the footer of your SuperTable. You can click through each page or use it to go to the last.
Show SuperTables in a popup on mark selection
Important: Reload the extension after changing the popup settings. Choose which worksheet to trigger the pop-up. This will turn the SuperTable into a dashboard button to save that vital dashboard space and will be triggered on mark selection. Allow the popup up only when the datasheet has data (has a negative performance impact).
Auto Aggregation
This feature uses Tableau parameters to aggregate the datasheet.
By using a calculation instead of a dimension the content of the column will automatically group to a fixed value.
If the parameter is false the calculation will return the default dimension values.
If the parameter is true the calculation will return a fixed value.
Instructions per column:
1. Create a string parameter with the same name as your column. For example ‘Segment’
2. Create a calculated field with the same name as the parameter in step 1.
3. Use this calculation: IIF([parameter_name] = ‘true’, [name_of_the_dimension], ‘_’)
4. Check if the parameter updates when you show/hide the column. In this example the column ‘Segment’
Show/Hide Index Column
Enable to hide the index column in the SuperTables instance. This will prevent it from showing up in the “columns” tab of your end-users.
