Handling Group Focus Position with Expanded Table Records

Hi experts! :star_struck:

I have chosen to use Group Focus instead of a popup to control the position of the pop-up on the page. This has worked very well until now.

However, recently I added the ability to expand the number of records in a table, and as a result, the Group Focus ends up at the top of the page, while the line in the table where the user is located is much further down. Consequently, the user cannot see that the edit window has opened.

Is there any way to solve this without having to use a popup that is always centered?

Do you need it centered?

Also, you can use an inner group wrapping all the content and set a max height with content overflow checked, so if the content is taller than the group’s max height, the content will scroll.

My main content scrolls, but my Group Focus remains in a fixed position. As a result, when the main content scrolls, the Group Focus does not move with it and disappears from view.

That is the nature of a group focus. Whenever it is open and you click outside of it, it will close.

You can set it up so that whenever it closes you can show it again with a custom state on the groupfocus that is a yes/no value, that you call ‘is shown’…then setup a conditional workflow trigger with condition, when groupfocus is not visible and groupfocus is shown is yes, and action would be to show the groupfocus.

You will need to make sure though that whatever elements that are clickable in the groupfocus that will trigger a workflow to set the state to ‘is shown’ to no so that you can ensure the user has intended to close the groupfocus and did not do so by starting to scroll the RG.

Maybe I was unclear. It’s perfectly fine that it disappears when I click outside of it. The problem is that when I scroll down to the bottom of a list, for example, and click on a row, the Group Focus appears, but it shows up at the top of the page, so the user has to scroll up to see it again.

Make the group focus as a reusable, put reusable into the RG cell. Various threads on menus for RG that cover the approach.
