[Feature Request]: Column selector in ViewSettingsDialog

[brampurnot]

Feature Request Description

We want to be able to select which columns are visible in the ViewSettingsDialog. Currently it's only limited to sorting and filtering.

Proposed Solution

Add an additional attribute to the ViewSettingsDialog where the table columns can be selected and ordered.

Proposed Alternatives

The only alternative would be to create a custom Dialog component where we rebuild the current capabilities of the ViewSettingsDialog and add a new tab for the columns.

Hi @brampurnot

Thanks for reporting.
In order to better support you with this, could you kindly provide more details about the feature you're requesting? Are you trying to only adjust the visibility of columns, change their order, or both?

Could you also share your specific requirements and use case?

Thanks and Best regards,
Dobrin

Thanks for the quick reply. It's both indeed. We want to be able to change the visibility of the columns in the table as well as the order in which they appear.

I think that the SAPUI5 framework does not support this neither tbh but they give you the possibility to add a custom tab to the viewsettingsdialog which could also serve that purpose.

But ideally we have something in standard to change visibility of the columns and the order in which they appear.

Thanks @brampurnot, I'm moving this request to the component owners.

Hello @SAP/ui5-webcomponents-topic-b,
Could you please take over this feature request?

Regards,
Dobrin

Hello @brampurnot ,

If I understand you correctly, you want to have the option to create custom tabs in view-settings-dialog?

Or the request is to remove one or another?

I want to be sure that I understand you correctly, so we can evaluate the feature request.

Best Regards,
Tsanislav

Well preferable there is a standard tab where users can choose which columns in the table they want to see and also reorder or the columns.

If that's too complicated then we should have at least a placeholder for adding custom tabs so that we can implement it ourselves.

It's very common in enterprise apps that users can choose which columns they want to see.
