Feature Request

[joemcmahon]

When the query results are returned in a lengthy table, and the user has selected a "many visible rows" setting, when the user scrolls the table of results in a downward manner, I would like to see the table's column header freeze (dock) at the top of the window and subsequent scrolling of the table data slides under the header. When the user scrolls back up, I would like to see the table's column header become detached (undocked) when the table content reaches the top.

This behavior is already available in the "Search" window when scrolling the events in the results table, so it should be a somewhat trivial matter of providing this capability to the dashboard designer.

@joemcmahon, I know this is a dirty quick fix, can you try the ru anywhere example from the following answer?

Yes, I looked at this "dirty quick fix", and I found it inadequate, yet quite clever. I'm not a CSS expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I would like to defer the development of a decent solution to the experts. It would be a nice solution if we dashboard developers only had to set a table attribute to get this behavior.

Same here. I have up-voted your question 🙂
You can request for the enhancement if you have valid Splunk Entitlement!
