Tile View

This node provides a tile view where each data row is displayed as one tile. The view offers several interactive features, as well as the possibility to select rows.

The node supports custom CSS styling. You can simply put CSS rules into a single string and set it as a flow variable 'customCSS' in the node configuration dialog. You will find the list of available classes and their description on our documentation page.

Interactivity

The JavaScript Tile View allows for several ways of interactivity. Please use the options below to configure which features will be activated on the view and further configuration of interactive properties.

Enable pagination: Enable or disable the pagination feature globally. When disabled the table is rendered whole on one page. When enabled use the options below to further refine the pagination settings.
Initial page size: Set the page size to be used on initial layout. A page size is defined as the number of tiles the view displays on one page. If the page size change control is enabled the page length can be changed in the view.
Enable page size change control: Enable or disable the control to change the page size interactively in the view.
Selectable page sizes: Define a comma-separated list of allowed page sizes for the page size control.
Add 'All' option to page sizes: When checked, an additional 'All' option will be available in the page size control.
Enable selection: If checked a checkbox is rendered in the bottom left corner of each tile. The selection, when applied, will be represented in the output table as a new boolean column.
Subscribe to filter events: If checked, the view reacts when applied filters have been changed.
Enable 'Clear Selection' button: If checked a button is displayed above the tiles, to clear any selection that is applied, regardless of current search and/or filter settings.
Show selected tiles only: If checked, only tiles which are selected are displayed.
Enable 'Show selected tiles only' option: If checked, a checkbox to switch on and off the mode of displaying only selected tiles is rendered in the view.
Publish selection events: If checked, notifies other interactive views when user changes the selection in the current view. See also "Subscribe to selection events".
Subscribe to selection events: If checked, the view reacts on notifications from other interactive views that the selection has been changed. See also "Publish selection events".
Selection column name: The name of the boolean column containing the selection.

Formatters

The JavaScript Tile View maps the KNIME table data types to types in JavaScript. The types that can be displayed are:

Boolean
Number (double, integer, etc.)
String
Date and Time (legacy)
Zoned Date and Time
Local Date and Time
Local Date
Local Time
PNG
SVG

All other data types will be treated as UNKNOWN types. The node tries to display them by extracting their respective standard string representation.

If you wish to customize the format for certain data types you can use the following options. For unknown types the formatting has to be applied in preceding nodes.

Date and Time types Date and Time values are converted into string using the selected or entered conversion pattern as defined by moment.js. Examples:

"dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a" formats dates like "Sunday, February 14th 2010, 3:25:50 pm"
"ddd, hA" formats dates like "Sun, 3PM"
"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ" formats dates as defined by ISO 8601.

Some valid pattern elements are:

Y: year
Q: quarter
M: month of year
W: week of year
DDD: day of year
D: day of month
d: day of week
dd: day of week (Su Mo ... Fr Sa)
a: am/pm marker
H: hour in day (0-23)
k: hour in day (1-24)
h: hour in am/pm (1-12)
m: minute in hour
s: second in minute
S: millisecond
z: Time zone (EST CST ... MST PST)
Z: Time zone (offset)
X: unix timestamp

Localized formats:

LT: Time (e.g. 8:30 PM)
LTS: Time with seconds (e.g. 8:30:25 PM)
L: Month numeral (0 padded), day of month (0 padded), year (e.g. 09/04/1986)
l: Month numeral, day of month, year (e.g. 9/4/1986)
LL: Month name, day of month, year (e.g. September 4 1986)
ll: Month name (short), day of month, year (e.g. Sep 4 1986)
LLL: Month name, day of month, year, time (e.g. September 4 1986 8:30 PM)
lll: Month name (short), day of month, year, time (e.g. Sep 4 1986 8:30 PM)
LLLL: Month name, day of month, day of week, year, time (e.g. Thursday, September 4 1986 8:30 PM)
llll: Month name (short), day of month, day of week (short), year, time (e.g. Thu, Sep 4 1986 8:30 PM)

For printing an arbitrary string, wrap the string in square brackets, e.g. '[today] dddd'.

Locale: The locale which is used to render all date/time cells.
Local Date format: A global format, which is applied to all locale date cells. To format the string the framework moment.js is used.
Local Date & Time format: A global format, which is applied to all local date/time cells. To format the string the framework moment.js is used.
Local Time format: A global format, which is applied to all local time cells. To format the string the framework moment.js is used.
Zoned Date & Time format: A global format, which is applied to all zoned date/time cells. To format the string the framework moment.js is used.
Date & Time (legacy) format: A global format, which is applied to all date/time (legacy) cells. To format the string the framework moment.js is used.
Enable global number format (double cells): If checked the option beneath will be applied to all columns of type Double.
Decimal places: If number format is enabled use this value to restrict the display of decimal places for double columns in the tile view.
Display missing value as red question mark: If checked, a missing value in the tile view is represented by a red question mark. Otherwise, an empty cell is shown.
