Squirrel 1.12 introduced a “Quick Set-up” tab on many property panels. The properties described on this page are available on the “All Properties” tab of the property panel. For more details on “Quick Set-Up” properties see this article
The Scorecard component aims to show structured data to help track and manage performances and to summarize data in an entire data source without slicing by time or group.
Select Scorecard from the Tables category of the component library. Move the mouse cursor over the canvas and click to add a data table to your project:
There are four property drawers, GENERAL, TABLE STYLING, HEADER ROW STYLING, BODY ROW STYLING, COLUMN FORMATTING, INTERACTIVITY and DYNAMIC VISIBILITY. This guide will not describe the dynamic visibility properties as these are generic to each component, a separate guide and tutorial on Dynamic Visibility can be found here.
Data to Display – Bind the Data to display property to a cell or range of cells in the spreadsheet. The range of cells must be continuous.
Use Separate Headers - Check this option to bind your table to a separate list of values to use as headers. This could be useful if you have, for example, a table that has an empty row between the header values and the data.
Ignore blank – If you don’t want any empty rows or columns (at the end of the Data to Display range) included in the data table, keep the Ignore blank Rows and Columns checkboxes checked. Suppose the spreadsheet is subsequently updated and data is inserted into those previously empty rows or columns. In that case, the data table component will also update to include those previously ignored rows or columns. The image below illustrates how empty columns have been included in the Data to display range:
