Fixed Table header in the Enhanced table

[ganesh-s05]

Hi @fbaligand ,

I have a Document table or Enhanced table & when i scroll down, the table headers are gone. Is there a way the headers can be freezed, like how we have in Excel? This way it will be helpful to look at the header column and correlate even we scroll down.

I looked up at the Kibana data table and haven't found anything convincing. Could you provide with some insight on to this?

Hi, this is currently not available. But it could be an enhancement.

Ok, great.. thank you. I will await

@fbaligand - any idea on when will this be implemented please?

[fbaligand]

It is on the roadmap, but clearly, I can’t tell you a date. Sorry.

[ganesh-s05]

@fbaligand - Sure. I understand. while it is in the pipeline, is there any workaround small hacks that is/are available by editing a certain js file etc, & re-run the plugin install to make it work?

PS: It's just that people are looking for this option and thought if there is some workaround for now it will buy me sometime.

You can eventually fork the code, and checkout branch for your kibana version.
then change the scss files so that table has a fixed header.
and finally launch “yarn build” to build the package.
Btw, I invite you to follow “Development” section.

To have fixed table header, you can follow css solution suggested here:

@fbaligand - thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a try.

On a different note - Is it possible to use Enhanced table in the AWS Managed Elasticsearch? I wanted to try it & just wanted to cross check with you before trying to know is there something i should be aware of.

If you speak about Elastic Cloud offer (by Elastic), to my known, community plugins can’t be installed on provided kibana.
it is possible on Elastic Cloud Enterprise, but not Elastic Public Cloud.

Concerning your enhancement, if you add a setting in “Options” tab, you can then open a Pull Request here, and I will be happy to merge it :)

Great.. thank you very much for your swift response. I will give it a try
