Export grid with row details

[genachkaParticipant]

Using jqxGrid 3.8.0, how can the grid’s row details (using row details similar to: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/rowdetails.htm) be exported together with the grid?

Hello genachka,

Unfortunately, row details cannot be exported along with the main grid. Please refer to this forum post for additional information: http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/export-grid-with-row-details/#post-24619.

That’s disappointing to learn. I saw some posts from a couple years ago with the same questions and issues, including the one you referenced and was hoping that by now it would have been resolved. Not being able to export the row details makes using row details useless to me.

Is there a suggested work around (i.e. maybe using a nested grid resolves this?) for this?

And please add row details exporting to the feature request list!

Hi genachka,

Nested grids are themselves a type of row details. You can export them, but separately. There is no solution for this issue, but you can try the following user approach: http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/export-grid-with-row-details/#post-24696.

Dimitar,

The link you provided would appear to be of no help. In the message from the user, he clearly states that he can’t get to the row details in his snippet and was requesting further assistance on July 8, 2013 at 1:58 pm but no further response came from support on his workaround attempt.

While I can appreciate that row details aren’t used by everyone that uses the grid, having them as an option for the grid but not being able to export them to me is missing fundamental functionality of the row details feature. As there would appear no official workaround, I hope this is something that gets supported soon as it would appear it’s been an issue for other users at least as far back as 2013.

Hello genachka,

According to us (and many of our users) this functionality is not fundamental and we do not plan on implementing it in a future version.

Not saying this is fundamental. But seems half backed when something as common as row details can’t be exported.

Anyway, your opinion and plan for future is very disappointing.

Disappointing to see this kind of response from the authors. It’s clearly a feature that is required by users including myself. If I have a grid of data and use ANY type of data export feature on that grid, I expect ALL data to be exported. To have row detail data missing is definitely a half finished feature.

Hi defyent,

The row detail can be anything – widget, object, etc. We cannot export it even if we wish to be able to.
