I have a Straight Table with a complex definition (it uses Set Analysis and has hidden calculated columns that are used to flag which rows to hide). The resulting table is quite long, though, requiring a vertical scroll bar. Nevertheless, the major operation I'm expecting users to perform on this table is to select all values in one of the columns (one of my table model's dimension fields). Click-and-drag doesn't cut it, because the AJAX rendering doesn't auto-scroll when the mouse is pulled to the bottom of the table, so that only the immediately visible values are selected. Since I'm using set analysis, it's not just a case of Select Possible on a selector for the field of interest.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
So far, my only thought is to create a separate button with a Select Action defined that does a Pareto select based on a expression that assigns to each of the N values to be selected (from the T total number of values) a value equal to 80%/N, and assigns 20%/(T-N) to all other values (which would only work when 80%/N > 20%/(T-N) ). Sounds kinda hairy, though, so I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any other ideas, before I launch into trying to make this work.
