Virtual Scrolling in React Pivot Table component

Virtual Scrolling

Allows to load the large amounts of data without any performance degradation by rendering rows and columns only in the current content viewport. Rest of the aggregated data will be brought into viewport dynamically based on vertical or horizontal scroll position. This feature can be enabled by setting the enableVirtualization property to true.

To use the virtual scrolling feature, inject the VirtualScroll module in to the pivot table.

The height and width properties should be set for virtual scrolling. If it is not defined then the pivot table will consider its value as 300px and 800px respectively.

Limitations for virtual scrolling

In virtual scrolling, the columnWidth property in gridSettings should be in pixel and percentage values are not accepted.
Resizing columns, setting width to individual columns which affects the calculation used to pick the correct page on scrolling.
Grouping, which takes additional time to splitting the raw items into the provided format.
Date Formatting, which takes additional time to convert date format.
Date Formatting with sorting, here additionally full date time format should be framed to perform sorting along with the provided date format which lags the performance.

Data Compression

This property is applicable only for relational data source.

When we bind one million raw data, the pivot table will process all raw data to generate aggregated data during initial rendering and report manipulation. But in data compression, the data will be compressed based on the uniqueness of the raw data, and unique records will be provided as input for the Pivot Table. The compressed data will be used for further operations at all times, reducing the looping complexity and improving the performance of the pivot table. For example, if the pivot table is connected to one million raw data aggregated to 1,000 unique data means, it will be rendered within 3 seconds rather than 10 seconds. You can enable this option by using the allowDataCompression property along with enableVirtualization property.

This options will only function when the virtual scrolling is enabled.

Limitations during data compression

The following aggregation types will not be supported.
- Average
- Populationstdev
- Samplestdev
- Populationvar
- Samplevar
If you use any of the aggregations above, it will result in an aggregation type “Sum”.
Distinctcount will act as “Count” aggregation type.
In the calculated field, an existing field can be inserted without altering its default aggregation type Even if we change it, it would use the default aggregation type back for calculation.

Virtual scrolling for static field list

Virtual scrolling automatically works with “Popup” field list on setting the enableVirtualization property in the Pivot Table to true. Incase of static field list, which act as a separate component, user need to enable enableVirtualization property in the Pivot Table and also pass the report information to pivot table instance via the load event of the field list.
