List / Table view - Grouping records

[NTT_Hunter]

Hi There-- any update on this as I need this function.

I have a workaround for one specific use case when using tables, maybe it can work for you:

Need to add up the values in a column in your table block and display the Sum at the bottom? Here is how

Here is the situation: you need to show the sum of every value on your cells, from one column, as airtable does in a native way. This approach will work by reading the information from the listed records on your softr table block, so everything happens in the front end. Technical requirements: You need to have access to softr custom code block and airtable table source Let’s start: I assume you have a table block added to your softr page. Grab the name or id of the table block, we will nee…

Hi,

Perhaps a simpler alternative than I asked perviously (on 30 Sep) →

Can Softr work on a grouping functionality for table views (and list views) like this?
And mean while, is there a custom code available to make this happen?

Just to add some additional context to this thread for our R&D friends at Softr, one of the things I’m running into internally is the hesitation of folks moving from a dedicated project management platform like Monday.com/Asana to our Softr app because the tables aren’t interactive and there is no grouping option.

The ease of updating a project’s details by simply clicking on a cell and interacting with that cell live versus needing to click on a dedicated action button per line, which opens a new window/modal seems trivial but it’s proving to not be as efficient and user friendly in our day-to-day operations.

Then additionally, the option to group by a particular field would allow us to use a single table block vs. using multiple table blocks with conditional filters to try and hack it to work.

Lastly, bulk actions are common with these other platforms when dealing with tables or grid views. For example, check a checkbox on multiple rows and then click a single action button at the top of the table. An example of this is in a support ticket queue, you can check off multiple rows and then click “Resolve” at the top.

I did see on the public roadmap there is a “Table Redesign” slated for “Next” so hopefully these things are all being taken into consideration.
