xiaohanyu commented on issue #4394: Implement the column config and row config in pivot table URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/4394#issuecomment-365168066 Hi, @mistercrunch Above is the overall features of this so-called "column and row configuration". Actually, we have used superset for almost one year, and designed this feature from bottom up, improve piece by piece, and finally proposed this patch for community. The basic design is: - should be a purely frontend implementation based on datatables state save and restore - put column configuration and row configurations settings to `formData`, just utilize superset's existing tools to save and restore table state There're maybe some issues though: - store column/row configuration may cause url too long for browsers and backend server, need to adjust existing nginx or some other backend settings to accept long `GET` urls - solution: maybe we should switch from `GET` to `POST` for queries to avoid this kind of long url problem? - frontend performance: when user has complicated settings and big data tables, it really takes some time to render the whole table, need to figure out a way to improve this. We're definitely sure that there're should be some improvements over the UI/UX design, to make it more intuitive, so we propose this to community asking some feedback. This feature is mainly designed for dashboard readers, they may be leaders of the team, just glance over multiple dashboard in minutes, and they need colors to mark the most important metrics in a table for them. That's all, thanks.
