Hi there,
I’m currently checking out the jqx widgets. One feature I’m missing and this is very rarely found in such Grid widgets out there, but VERY useful for end users in our use cases: The “Multi Edit“.
That means: You can select multiple rows first and then click an [Edit] button. This will popup a dialog showing all fields which are available for editing (like the existing popup edit mode). The fields are already pre-filled with the data from the first selected row. Next to each input field there is a checkbox for the user to enable the field. Once the user ticks the checkbox, the input field gets enabled and the user can do the modification. After clicking [Save] button, all ticked inputs fields will get updated for all selected rows in one shot!
Use case: Filter for all rows containing a name like “Richard”. Select all found records and multiedit them by renaming the field into “Richi”. Save and all records are updated in once, renamed from Richard to Richi, without updating each row one by one.
What do you think of that?
Regards,
Janosh
