Selectively displaying data

The number of columns displayed in the table below depends on the available screen space, by default; a smartphone will display 2 columns, for example, while an expanded desktop browser displays the full set. This is accomplished by assigning semantic classes to the column headings that indicate which data values take precedence (essential vs optional), in combination with media queries to display them at different screen widths (a.k.a., responsive design).

We added a bit of JavaScript logic so you can control which data is displayed by checking column names in the "Display" menu on the right. Once an option is checked, the associated data will persist and display at all screen widths until the option is unchecked.

You can also set a column to always persist by assigning a class in the markup, in which case it has no menu option. Here, the "Company" column is persistent.
