Hi everyone,

Apologies for posting this question in this group if it's not the most appropriate place. I'm encountering an issue while working with Planning Analytics web version reports and analysis. I'm looking to add an action button to a web sheet that should be pinned to a particular column. The goal is to have this action button trigger a specific process when clicked.

However, the problem I'm facing is that the action button moves and scrolls with the page instead of staying fixed to the intended column. I've tried customizing and configuring the action button, but it doesn't seem to stay in place as desired.

If anyone has a solution for ensuring that an action button stays pinned to a specific column in Planning Analytics web version reports and can be configured to run a process upon clicking, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Additionally, if this functionality is not directly supported, I would like to know if there are any workarounds or alternative approaches that you might recommend.

If this discussion belongs in a different group or forum, please guide me in the right direction. Your advice, tips, or guidance on how to resolve this issue would be invaluable. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi

The custom solution beckons in the space of Planning Analytics. Pinning an action button to a particular column requires the use of custom widgets that incorporate HTML and CSS to anchor it. Panes can also be frozen to control the scroll chaos, while JavaScript can also apply finesse to the button's positioning. However, some have sought the comfort of other tools or professional help because of the limitations of Planning Analytics. By using the advanced techniques mentioned here, one can find the secrets that lead to a perfectly pinned action button.
