If a newcomer needs to display a list, how can they know what to use?
Currently we have:
- list field
- Table field
- DataGrid
- PolyGrid
- PolyList
- others?
Is there a chart listing the features of each that I can point new
users to when this question comes up?
No list, but I did discover one reason for choosing PolyGrid over
DataGrid recently. Large number of columns (such as user generated
research data). The DataGrid is a group and so is limited to a total
width of all columns of 32767px, or about 327 columns at the default of
100px per column. Exceed this and the data stops displaying. I have
tested PolyGrid with 1000 columns without issue. The Datagrid column
limit can also be an issue if you are close to the limit and the user
resizes 1 or more columns to exceed the total pixel limit (assuming you
have column resizing turned on, which it is by default)
