IdsDataGrid: Select across pages / contextual toolbar?

[volante007]

Describe the Issue
Doesn't seem to be a way to allow selecting across pages? I can't find any setting for that, and it doesn't work out of the box (using server side paging). Also, is there any alternative to the contextual toolbar available in 4.x?

Select across pages 4.x
https://design.infor.com/code/ids-enterprise/latest/demo/components/datagrid/example-paging.html

1. Select one row
2. Go to other page
3. Go back to first page
   Result: Selection kept
   Web component: Selection not kept (or, it seems it's actually selected, but selection column shows unchecked)

Contextual toolbar 4.x
https://design.infor.com/code/ids-enterprise/latest/demo/components/datagrid/example-multiselect.html

1. Select one or more rows
   Result: A contextual toolbar appears which contains actions for the selected row(s)

Is there any plan to support these two features, or is there any alternative?

I guess we can achieve/keep the contextual toolbar simply by toggling it ourselves based on the selection, and make it animate as in 4.x.

So, the selection issue is more important out of the two.

@volante007 some features we did not add to reduce the amount we support.

1. select across pages -> could probably add, will discuss
2. contextual action toolbar -> was discussed and design doesnt like it, decided to should work with toolbar buttons hiding and showing as per IdsDataGrid: Add Contextual Toolbar / Selection Actions #1029 (comment) ->. ut we may want an example for this.

Hi @tmcconechy , toolbar with actions enabled/disabled based on selections sounds OK to me.

As for select across pages, I found it mentioned in the datagrid TODO (one of the last listed as major):
https://github.com/infor-design/enterprise-wc/blob/main/src/components/ids-data-grid/TODO.md

And as I mentioned, it seems to be selected in the API, but not showing as selected in the selection column. So probably a bug rather than feature missing.

Bottom line: I'm hoping it will be fixed as it's listed as a TODO already :)

Agreed, i would also argue we need it as its useful on the lookup.

QA Failed.
verified in https://main.wc.design.infor.com/ids-data-grid/pagination-client-side.html
when using delete/clear button, it only clears/deletes the selected item on a selected page. Also, the text on the top/left of the Datagrid toolbar does not reflect the correct number of records upon deleting/clearing an item.
