Can the View Details button be moved to the left?

[DLReich]

I have many columns in a report so the View Details button, which is on the right end of each report row, is not easily seen.  I would either like to move it to the left end of each report row or recreate it as a custom button at the left end.  Does anyone have the source  code for recreating that button?

Hi kpcollier,

I just discovered that it is possible to change the "View Details" text. You can modify it under Localization:

You should be separating your report and details in two pages and add HTML Block to create the link to details

Or you can make one of the fields you are showing on the report to be the link to details in "  Details Page" screen.

Hello DLReich,

You can move the position of the View Details Button to the left or right by modifying it on Styles. Go to STyles -> Results Page -> Table Layout -> Record Action Column. You may refer to the screenshot below.

Hi @JolliBeng

Is it possible to change the text? It would be awesome if I could change it from "View Details" to "Edit Here" or something like that.

Hi kpcollier,

I'm not certain about that. But, you can   change the icon image in Styles. You may refer to the screenshot below:

@JolliBeng Thank you! That worked.

Hi @DLReich,

 

If you also wish to place the View Details link on other columns aside from the first and last column (since those are the only options on the Styles), say you want to place it in the middle or maybe on the column before the last column, you can do this using JQuery. So on your DataPage, add a Footer  (make sure to disable HTML editor) and paste the following:

 

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>

jQuery.moveColumn = function (table, from, to) {
    var rows = jQuery('tr', table);
    var cols;
    rows.each(function() {
        cols = jQuery(this).children('th, td');
        cols.eq(from).detach().insertBefore(cols.eq(to));
    });
}

var tbl = jQuery('table');
jQuery.moveColumn(tbl, 3, 2);

</script>

 

Wherein the 3 in the last line (jQuery.moveColumn(tbl, 3, 2);) refers to the nth-order the View Details link comes in, and 2 is the column order where you want to now place the View Details link. You can switch up these numbers based on your liking. Like so:
