Web Storage, Controls and properties

Control elements

GT consists of different operating elements. Some control elements are more extensive than others and allow settings to be made for the interaction element itself.

Table

The Table, Tree and Hierarchy table controls are the basic interaction elements of GT.

“Web memory” and table

The table is a frequently used interaction element in GT for the presentation of data. In some views, the web browser saves certain settings relating to the displayed columns in the local memory. This web storage is not deleted when the web browser is closed and is available again for configuring the table in the next session.

Expanding table row

An expander symbol is visible in the first column of certain tables. Clicking on it expands the table row vertically, making different details for this table row visible. Clicking on the expander symbol again reduces the table row to its original size.

A tooltip or quick info is implemented on some header cells of the table header. This appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the corresponding header cell for a short time.
