For some time, Wijmo’s Japanese market has asked for a MultiRow grid feature: one 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, change date, person who changed it, etc. The second row includes ship date, suggested change date, etc: Wrap columns to prevent scrolling with MultiRow With the heavier border between records, you can see how a user can quickly assess all the fields in a record, instead of needing to scroll right to see more. In addition, you can group like fields so they’re in the same column, offering more of a summary at a glance. In Wijmo’s MultiRow, you can even collapse the header into a single row: Collapse headers Basic Features and Benefits of MultiRow Grids
