table list

rotate table header titles vertically in ChronoForms table list.

Overview

The default horizontal headers take up too much space when there are many columns.
Add a custom CSS class to each column and use CSS to change the text orientation. Alternatively, use a checkbox group with a trigger and listener to dynamically show or hide columns.

Hi kraadde

Do you have an image or a link showing how the table should look like ?

Yes, pls see below pics. This is only the left side of the very large table. Having the 26 column smaller would be much better.

But how do you want them to be vertical ? do you have an image or a link for a vertical table layout you want to use ?

For some contents that is true, but not for all. See column at the right side of the table below:

I think that you can add a class to each column and change the text orientation using CSS

Another way is to add a class to each column and hide/unhide it using some checkboxes group with trigger and listener calling a function
