Openui5: Feature Request / Fixed Header / sap.m.Table

[timostark]

OpenUI5 version: ALL

Browser/version (+device/version): ALL

I very often get the feedback that customers would like to have a scrollable responsive table with a fixed header for tablet and desktop and normal scrollable header on phone. From what I see the fixedHeader functionality is offered by sap.ui.table but not by sap.m.Table.

There are several 'solutions' on scn using two tables - for multiple reasons I don't like this approach though (both tables might not react identical on screen changes, table settings & personalization, etc.).

Is this feature planned in a future version of openui5?

Thanks

@timostark, this is a highly requested feature and it's on the backlog. We're working on a comprehensive solution that covers all elements that should snap to the top when scrolling (e.g. page/section/group headers and toolbars), but without taking up all the screen space on smaller screens. Please stay tuned.

wanted to also register my interest in this enhancement - it's something that comes up time and time again. @timostark, any update on where this is in your backlog?

@thomaskoetter any news here?

@simlin : can you please comment in place of @thomaskoetter?

If anyone interested - apparently this is implemented (experimental) in 1.54..

Right, we did a first shot in 1.54 and currently working on stablization and refinement.

Just for the discussion: Wouldn't it be helpful for the users if <headerToolbar> and <infoToolbar> were sticky as well? Currently, only the column headers are sticky if sap.m.Sticky.ColumnHeaders are applied.

The header toolbar might contain title, number of items, current filter settings, and other control related actions.

Having an option to make them sticky too would help them to see the relevant information immediately without having to scroll to the top.

Maybe an additional Sticky option would be nice. Something like sap.m.Sticky.Header which includes ColumnHeaders.

Just hold the line. The feature is still work in progress ...
