Don't show "grouped first by" options in sorting and filtering dialog

#1

Hi,


Another one from me, I'm afraid. I've looked through all the options I can find, but I can't figure out how (or even if it's possible) to get rid of the "grouped first by" option in the sorting and filtering dialog. For clarity I mean the top line of this dialog:

This appears when you click the "AZ" sorting button on a column header. The data in this table should always be grouped by PSTitle. If customers click the "Change" link, they can break the table layout and render the data in it complete nonsense so we don't want to allow them to do that. Is it possible to remove that option?


Thanks


Adam

Directly from the UI you can hide the whole sorting menu, which I suppose is not what you want.


You could hide it programmatically. Changing the element style to display:none; should do it. You can create a CSS override to apply it. However, a regular override will hide it for all of your dashboards. If you want this change only for this particular dashboard, or this particular table, you will have to be creative and come up with a selection mechanism. Let me know if that's the case and you need help.

Thanks. I think the CSS override will probably work, as I doubt we'll ever want the user to be able to change stuff like that in any dashboard. Our users are mainly people who just want to see the data as we present it, they're not going to want to do much besides filter for the things they're interested in and sort data in a way that makes sense to them.
