Hi,

 

I'm linking a table to a page in SAS VA and I unchecked the "enable sorting" because the user asked to, but when the user click on the headers it shows the page with unselected data and I want to remove the linking from the header itself. is that possible?

 

clicking on headerclicking on headerpage shows all datapage shows all data

Hello,

 

Can you remind me what version of VA you have?

 

When I test this on the latest version, clicking the header will perform a link ONLY if a table row is selected, and the link behavior should be the same as double-clicking the row that is selected.

 

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

 

SAS VA 7.5 

the table has a link to a page and when the user click a row a pop-up page shows, but if the user also click the header the pop-up page also shows but without any filter.

 

i tried to enable sorting and it works the header is unclickable, but they requested from a table without sorting plus link.

As long as there is at least one row selected in the list table and Enable sorting is disabled, then clicking the column header will open the link filtered by the selected row. You cannot disable that behavior.

But I didn't select any row. When I enable sorting the header is unclickable but if it's disable the user can click on headers.

I don't know why I did not reproduce this issue before, but I see it now. If you double-click the header row, then the linked pages does open and the table is not filtered. I don't see any way to change this behavior. I expect it is working as designed to enable you to link without filtering.
