Empower Users with Interactive Data Exploration

June 24, 2024
UI Suites that include pivot grids offer a powerful and flexible way for users to analyze and visualize complex data sets within your React application.

A pivot grid is a data visualization tool that allows users to interactively explore and summarize multidimensional data. By dragging and dropping fields between rows, columns, and filters, developers can empower users to dynamically create custom views of their data, facilitating data analysis and informed decision-making without writing complex queries.

Several React UI suites feature a pivot grid control including:

  • DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress empowers developers with a customizable pivot grid for interactive data exploration.
  • KendoReact by Telerik offers a pivot grid component with drag-and-drop functionality for user-driven data analysis.
  • Wijmo by MESCIUS facilitates data manipulation through a pivot grid with built-in filtering and aggregation.
  • Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise allows you to integrate an interactive pivot grid for intuitive data summarization within your applications.

Utilize Real-Time Updates in Angular Data Grids

June 21, 2024
Angular developers can keep grid data up to date with live, dynamic updates, maintaining data accuracy and improving the user experience.

Dynamic updates, or live data rendering, in a data grid is the capability of the grid to automatically refresh and display updated data without the need for manual intervention or full-page reloads. This provides immediate access to the most current data and gives real-time reflections of changes. It therefore improves the user experience, enhancing data accuracy, and minimizing disruptions during data manipulation. Live data reduces the load on network resources by fetching only incremental data changes, and minimizes the computational burden on the client side, improving overall performance. This functionality is critical in applications where real-time data visibility is essential, such as in financial dashboards, live monitoring systems, or inventory management applications.

Several Angular grid components support dynamic updates, including:

  • FusionGrid by FusionCharts is a customizable and responsive JavaScript data grid component. It is compatible with Angular and will automatically update data in real-time.
  • SmartClient Grid (part of SmartClient) by Isomorphic Software enables real-time updates via the Real Time Messaging module available in the Power and Enterprise editions.
  • Smart HTML Elements Grid (part of Smart HTML Elements) integrates with Angular and offers instant data refresh capabilities for live changes without reloading the grid.
  • Ignite UI Angular Grid (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) provides developers with a responsive data grid component that features dynamic, real-time data updates and more.
