Template for Group By Heading?

[Michael]

I have a grid that has a field I want to group by. The field comes from the db in number format, I use the template on the column to dynamically changed it to the actual verbose type, such as "molecule", "assembly", etc.

 That all works fine and displays in the grid correctly. My issue is this, when I do a group by that column instead of the verbose type values I'm getting their numeric equivalent. Is there some way to have the Group By header display the same value as the template output for the column?

 

Regards,

Hi Michael,

For achieving the desired result you will have to set the groupHeaderTemplate for the column in question and perform the same logic for changing the numeric value to a string value. In the following help article you will find information and example on how to set the groupHeaderTemplate:

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#configuration-columns.groupHeaderTemplate

Hope this helps.
