Persist Grid settings

[ManniAT]

Hi,

 

is there a way (like in PivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX) to persist a pivot grid on the server.

Usage: the user drags columns around till he has the desired result - with save he can persist this "view" on the server. Later he can recall this "view" to have the same PivotGrid configuration again.

Hello Manfred,

Please examine the following thread that discusses how you can implement the functionality.

Hi Victor,

 

sorry but answer didn't really help me.

First it leads me to a post about KendoUI (JS) while I'm asking about the MVC wrapper.

Second the post shows no "demo" - instead it ends with "...still a bug..open a ticket".

Maybe I didn't ask precise enough. Let me retry it:

There is a demo for ASPX which shows ho to persist and load the settings.

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/pivotgrid/examples/applicationscenarios/persisting-radpivotgrid-settings/defaultcs.aspx

HOW can this be done in MVC?

 

Thank you

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

The demo you are referring to is targeting the PivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX. Also the settings there are persisted via the PersistenceManager control from the same suite.

Note that the PivotGrid for MVC is a completely different component. Also, it does not provide the persisting settings functionality out of the box. In order to persist the settings you would need to use custom logic. The article I linked in my previous post lists a possible approach you can use, however, it may not work in all scenarios.

Hi Victor,

I know that i referred a different thing / technology.

I did this just to show WHAT I want to achieve.

So to summarize what I understood from your answer:
-- PivotGrid doesn't directly support persisting of the current layout
-- it can "somehow" being done but this requires "custom logic"
--- there is a "direction" for Kendo.UI (not MVC) - but no solution
-- a solution would be to complicated to provide a simple sample showing how to do this

Are there any plans to implement such a functionality (like competitors already provide - and you have for ASPX)?

Thank you

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

I am afraid that there are no immediate plans to include such feature to the PivotGrid. However, you can submit a feature request in our feedback portal.

This way the feature will be reviewed and considered for implementation in a future release.
