Hi!

Is it possible to set headers above the columns in the table portlet?  
Something like this example

Hi Viktor,

Unfortunately table headers in table portlets are inline and there is no possibility to add extra line for column header text.

Thanks

Hi,

although it cant be done regularly as Amri said, sometimes we use a (dirty) workaround, usually when we need to put calculated totals to top of the table (guess it would work for double column names too)

So the point is to use datasource with pagination and filtering, use table connector to paginate / filter the data (should be free but is not always included in the license (until you ask 🙂 )) and then always add one row to the paginated results.

Then you can set the column names 2 times, once in the portal and once in the row you add.

(Its a less then perfect solution when you need to translate the column names but…total is almost always total 🙂 )

Hope this helps!
