Interactive Reports - Prevent users from removing row highlights...

Daljit RNov 25 2016 — edited Nov 26 2016

Hi,

I may have missed this option in amongst the many available in customising Interactive Reports so apologies in advance if so.

I have a scenario where I am using an Interactive Report to show statuses of some rows. I have applied row highlighting for different statuses and saved the report. I have also disabled the option for the user to apply row highlights themselves.

All of the above works great and is standard IR functionality and I don't have the highlight option from the IR Actions button but I've noticed the I'm still able to remove the highlight I have applied using the remove option on the IRR controls - the small little 'x' next to row highlight indicator.

In this case I wish to prevent the user from removing any pre-set highlight as the there are only three statuses, and standard Red Amber Green corresponds well to the purpose of the screen. You'll notice I have provided buttons corresponding to the statuses to allow the user to change the status of rows in the IRR header and have coloured the buttons to match the row highlight so I would be comfortable if the control section for highlights wasn't displayed at all as the buttons can serve as the legend/row highlight indicator.

I experimented with some CSS to not show the control container but this then prevents the user from seeing any other formatting/filters - so to prevent the user from applying a filter and not being able to remove it these options have to be disabled on the IRR also.

.a-IRR-controlsContainer{

display:none;

}

Any suggestions how I can allow the user add/remove filters on the IR, but stop them from removing the preset highlights?

Thanks,

Daljit
