Hello Mark,

Hope you are doing well.

In line to our previous discussion we have the desired functionality ready which was to build a fixed header functionality on DHIS2 data entry application. This functionality will help the user to understand exactly for which column they are entering the data.

To build this functionality we have used an external jQuery library floatThead.

I have attached the patch file along with this mail. Please verify it and provide inputs, if any.

We would like to get this merged in 2.21 and higher.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for that. We also looked for a couple of libraries and found the same with floatThread.

I guess we are good to go with this approach.

Hey All,

We should have jQuery available on the page. So it is probably the most straight forward way to use the floatThread thing.

The library seems pretty mature. I like that better than the scrollable table body, as that adds an extra scrollbar.

Hi Mark

Thanks a lot for the response.

The changes are for the section forms only.

Thanks for a good to go. :slight_smile:

But if you could also comment on the technical approach presented in the first email, it would be very useful.

Hey Kaustav and Vanya,

Your projected changes are related to section forms (not custom forms) is that correct?

For custom forms the users are able to “hack” the html representation. Therefore they could accidentally break this feature, which makes it seem not reliable.

So it is for section forms then (the default generated forms) then we think this would be a welcome feature to go into trunk.

We want to make some enhancements to the Data entry app. Which is to make the data entry table header ( category combo header ) stay constant even if we scroll down the page, so that the user knows which column they are entering the data in.

These are a few questions,

1. Would this be alright to add this to DHIS?

2. If you have any recommendations regarding the implementation of this feature? Like using some library or anything of that sort?

At our end we have explored a few things:

Assume, the table is structured as below,

table
    thead
        tr
            th
    tbody
        tr
            td

1. Using a Library:

There is a javascript library called floatThead that can be leveraged for this. It also works with multiple tables present in a single page. So while scrolling the table header remain fixed for each tables.

2. Not using any library,

We can have some fixed height given to a table body and put the y-axis scroll for the table. User has to come to the table element and scroll to get their data element to be seen.

I have attached the screenshots for better understanding.

We are waiting for your response.

Hey Kaustav,

I’m sorry for taking so long to get back on this. I’ve applied your patch and it looks good. I think we’re close to be able to merge it in.

One minor thing i noticed is that when multiple sections are rendered and the user searches in section, the headers of the next section are not adjusted correctly. See the screenshot, do you think it’s possible for you to look into hooking into these searchfields and readjusting the headers after the filtering?

Hi Mark,

I tried reproducing this scenario. So, I downloaded db dump from dhis2.org. I was not able to reproduce the same. I think there should be something missing in the patch. Will let u know.

I’m sorry for taking so long to get back on this. I’ve applied your patch and it looks good. I think we’re close to be able to merge it in.

One minor thing i noticed is that when multiple sections are rendered and the user searches in section, the headers of the next section are not adjusted correctly. See the screenshot, do you think it’s possible for you to look into hooking into these searchfields and readjusting the headers after the filtering?

For custom forms the users are able to “hack” the html representation. Therefore they could accidentally break this feature, which makes it seem not reliable.

So it is for section forms then (the default generated forms) then we think this would be a welcome feature to go into trunk.

Thanks a lot for the response.

Thanks for a good to go. :slight_smile:

Hey Kaustav and Vanya,

Your projected changes are related to section forms (not custom forms) is that correct?

For custom forms the users are able to “hack” the html representation. Therefore they could accidentally break this feature, which makes it seem not reliable.

So it is for section forms then (the default generated forms) then we think this would be a welcome feature to go into trunk.

Hi Mark

Hope you are doing well.

We want to make some enhancements to the Data entry app. Which is to make the data entry table header ( category combo header ) stay constant even if we scroll down the page, so that the user knows which column they are entering the data in.

These are a few questions,

1. Would this be alright to add this to DHIS?

2. If you have any recommendations regarding the implementation of this feature? Like using some library or anything of that sort?

At our end we have explored a few things:

Assume, the table is structured as below,

table
    thead
        tr
            th
    tbody
        tr
            td

1. Using a Library:

There is a javascript library called floatThead that can be leveraged for this. It also works with multiple tables present in a single page. So while scrolling the table header remain fixed for each tables.

2. Not using any library,

We can have some fixed height given to a table body and put the y-axis scroll for the table. User has to come to the table element and scroll to get their data element to be seen.

I have attached the screenshots for better understanding.

We are waiting for your response.

Hey Kaustav,

I’m sorry for taking so long to get back on this. I’ve applied your patch and it looks good. I think we’re close to be able to merge it in.

One minor thing i noticed is that when multiple sections are rendered and the user searches in section, the headers of the next section are not adjusted correctly. See the screenshot, do you think it’s possible for you to look into hooking into these searchfields and readjusting the headers after the filtering?

Hello Mark,

Hope you are doing well.

In line to our previous discussion we have the desired functionality ready which was to build a fixed header functionality on DHIS2 data entry application. This functionality will help the user to understand exactly for which column they are entering the data.

To build this functionality we have used an external jQuery library floatThead.

I have attached the patch file along with this mail. Please verify it and provide inputs, if any.

We would like to get this merged in 2.21 and higher.

Thanks in advance.

Hey All,

We should have jQuery available on the page. So it is probably the most straight forward way to use the floatThread thing.

The library seems pretty mature. I like that better than the scrollable table body, as that adds an extra scrollbar.
