Use different table variants for screen types with multiple grids

​@PeterKeeris To verify, you want to be able to define two seperate grid components for a single subject? One that is the full list, and one that is condensed?

Also, often cardlists are used to display a smaller list, have you tried this? Are there reasons why it wouldn’t work?

Yes, but also with their own prefilters/tasks/reports etc. So using a different subject variant would be perfect.

I was thinking of a solution direction with the possibility to set a screen area for a grid/form in the screen design. And in the subject configuration it would be possible to link a table variant to each screen area. So very similar of how this is possible with detail tabs already. 

Thanks for this suggestion, we haven’t tried it yet. It would still not help with differentiating prefilters/tasks/reports though. And cardlists have their own limitations, like not supporting drag & drop. Using a cardlist could also make the list feel like a different subject to the user, so I am not sure we want to go that way but we will give it a try.

​@PeterKeeris On your remark related to prefilters/tasks/reports: you should be able to differentiate those using the Custom action bar and specific Screen Area assignments.You should be able to specify this on Tasks > Table Tasks > Screen area for each individual Task/Report and on Subject > Data > Prefilters > Screen area for each individual Prefilter.

Thanks Arie, I didn’t knew it is possible to set a screen area within a custom action bar.

​@PeterKeeris Glad to see that we’re sometimes exceeding your expectations 😁
