Introducing MultiRow Data Grid for ASP.NET MVC

As often happens with our ASP.NET MVC Edition, we've recently introduced a new control that launched in Wijmo Enterprise several months ago. MultiRow Data Grid is a data grid that displays cells in a stacked format, reducing the need to scroll right to view additional columns. While it’s not a familiar spreadsheet format in North America, it’s very popular in Japan, and makes a lot of sense once you understand how it works. In the example below, each item record consists of two rows (we’ll call them first and second). The first row includes Order ID, name, email, and shipper, etc. The second row includes the cost, address, phone, etc. In this example, you can see how MultiRow also supports pagination.

In addition, you can group like fields so they’re in the same column, offering more of a summary at a glance. Grouping in MultiRow data grid In MultiRow, you can even collapse the header into a single row. The blue triangle allows the user to expand the headers: Collapsed headers in MultiRow

Basic Features and Benefits of MultiRow Grids
