Show field list when pivot table empty in EJ2 JavaScript Pivotview control

8 Aug 20233 minutes to read

When there are no fields in a pivot table’s row, column, value, and filter axes, a field list can still be displayed. To do so, use the dataBound event and call the onShowFieldList method as shown below.

var pivotTableObj = new ej.pivotview.PivotView({
    dataSourceSettings: {
        dataSource: pivotData,
    },
    height: 350,
    dataBound: function () {
        if (pivotTableObj && pivotTableObj.dataSourceSettings.values.length === 0) {
            pivotTableObj.pivotFieldListModule.dialogRenderer.onShowFieldList();
        }
    },
    showFieldList: true
});
pivotTableObj.appendTo('#PivotTable');
