'Freeze Panes' Functionality When Scrolling in a Module within a Dashboard

pbenz

The ability to freeze the rows or columns when scrolling within a module that has been published to a dashboard.  In some instances, when you cannot trim the module to be user friendly on a dashboard and scrolling is required, it is easy to lose your spot as to where you are within the rows or columns of the module.  A 'Freeze Panes' type of functionality, as it exists within Excel, would be incredibly helpful and has been requested multiple times by a client.

One technique I use on dashboards to limit the need for scrolling is to create a Master Module and a Detailed Module. 

 

The way this works is the top module would be the master with the list in rows and the most important line items shown in columns.  Then below publish a second module with the list as a page selector and the relevant additional line items in rows.  This allows a user to see the primary data in the main grid but then select an item to see detailed information about it below. 

 

An example is the Master module could have products and then line items to plan units by time, the detailed module would have the product attributes such as style, cost, price, etc.

Hi,

It's now close to a year since the initial request. All the users from our business are eager to see this feature available.

Do we have ETA? thx

mayajones

Definitely in need of this functionality, especially the ability to freeze header rows on a dashboard!

This seems to be a feature in the New UX. Are there plans to introduce it to the dashboard in the classic?

Has this been implemented yet?

Nicolas Cadier

Is there any update on the implementation of this idea?

SophieBo

This is a crucial need for our organization as well (mainly to freeze columns), is there any news on the implementation?

Would be great if someone could provide an update on this feature request.  Clients are screaming for this feature and I can understand the frustration.

Has the freezing of columns been implemented in the new UX?  If so, can someone point me to documentation?

As of today - March 8th 2021, this feature is unavailable in New UX and classic.

 

This is a critical feature that is needed for end users.  I can understand why this was delayed with focus on building out the New UX, however at roughly 3 years since first requested and noted as being added to the roadmap, it would be wonderful if this was added to New UX.  I suspect that this will not be added to classic dashboards with the focus on New UX, however would be nice to have there as well.

 

User experience is significantly impacted by the lack of this ability.  In many dashboards it is unrealistic for the user to see an use the Hierarchy instead of some key attributes or line items that further make the input relevant.

A significant number of my customers have requested this functionality and we believe it would be extremely useful.

Hello! Is this still on the roadmap? This would be super super helpful!!

sprender

Hey folks, I can confirm this is still on the roadmap. We don't have a timeline we can share at this stage but we are having internal discussions to see how we can accelerate development of this much requested update.

@sprender Thank you so much for the update! Hopefully soon!! 🤞

lphan

can this also be available in worksheets?

tomcollins

Here at Compass Group - we are really in need of this feature! Would be a complete game changer for our FP&A modeling!

satranAnaPlan

This will be a great feature for Compass Group, thanks!

CalvinM

Happy to say this feature is now available for all users on UX pages!

End users can now freeze up to any row or column on a grid or worksheet!

The frozen rows or columns will remain in place when you scroll vertically or horizontally. Allowing for easier analysis and navigation through large data sets.

Thank you all for your helpful feedback on this much anticipated feature.

This is amazing!

Is there a way to save the frozen panes so that all users will enter into a page with frozen panes without having to do it themselves?

Thank you!
