How can we freeze last row in a table (list view) - Pega Constellation UI
Hi,
We have a below requirement,
1.User will add the records to embed list view manually from a local action.
2. Once user submits the local action we will run the post processing logic and adds one more record at the end to page list with totals.
3. In case tabs we want to show the list view with user entered records and totals record in the table view. when table had 100+ records we want to freeze the total row in the list view when scrolls the table vertical scroll to see the records.
Is there any OOTB configuration for this ? ( freeze last row in the table)

@SreenivasuluV16633502 I'd be curious on others experiences here. Constellation tables do not provide a total capability on embedded data tables like this - they do however, in '25, provide for an aggregate function in Insight tables.
Just to clarify, when you say "local action" are you talking about the native Constellation feature to add rows via modal OR are you planning on creating a case wide optional action that updates the embedded data? This is important for option 4 below.
So, when it comes to Embedded Data, you do not have this table capability. I had this question late last year when we did a Blueprint Workshop in Amsterdam and did do research.

- Create calculations in your case data model and display the data outside the table (lowest code, easiest implementation)
- Hack the JSON / Theme of your tables to lock a sum as final row (not recommended).
- I mention this because this is what the attendee had managed to do but, as you might expect, it had bugs, which we could not solve. I mention this option as more a cautionary tale
- Create your own table DX Component that provides this capability. Tables are one of the harder DX Components to build, even those who live in DX Components space day to day say this is one of the hardest to achieve (they don't recommend it if it can be avoided)
- IF you are doing this as a local action, not embedded data / modal to add rows, this MIGHT open up another option. It is possible to run Insights on case data, including embedded data. They can only be displayed in Case Tabs but by going this route, you would open up the Insights feature I mentioned earlier.
What is your experience?
I'd love to know others experience here, to the best of my knowledge, I don't believe this is possible OOTB with embedded data tables. EVEN with some questionable customizations I've only seen this buggy at best (which you would expect).
Future enhancement?
Based on this history, we have raised feedback to get this native for embedded data tables. They are on our backlog for triage by our Product Teams - I will be noting this question too, hopefully that adds some weight to prioritization.

@MarcCheong Completely agree with Marc's analysis. We don't have this possibility OOTB and even with customization this might not be fully achievable. So, better it would come as a native capability similar to what we have in Insights.
Thanks
