Macro settings
- Zhenya Elfimova
Overview
Inline Table Editing macro has multiple settings. These settings help you to disable filters and sorting for a specific macro, enable or disable drag and drop feature, activate or deactivate inline editing, enable export, specify table height.
Macro settings are set on individual macro level. It means, that if you set any of these settings for one macro, second macro on the same or on any other page will have its own defined settings.
You can find more information about each option and how to open and manage these settings below.
How to open macro settings?
Macro settings are available in edit and view page modes.
In view mode there are two sections: table and personal settings. Settings list in edit mode contains only table settings.
Table settings are applied on table level. Any user sees table the same way. For example, if filter option is disabled for a table macro, no one can apply filters until it is activated again.
Personal settings can be used to enable or disable autosave for any table for current user. On the modal dialog you can also see a button to save current settings as personal default settings. It means, that if you save the settings as personal template and then add a new macro, saved settings will be applied to a new macro as default. They can be adjusted any time.
