The classic form displays the data in an Excel-like layout of hierarchies. Using the classic Angular pivot table, you can see hierarchy sublevels in separate rows or columns next to each other.

With a classic layout, you have the access to the same data visualization functionality as in compact form. All Excel features work the same: via a comfy Angular UI grid, you can sort and filter rows and columns, drill through the data, expand and collapse the hierarchies.
If data in your Angular pivot grid has a deep hierarchy with a lot of sublevels, we recommend switching to the compact form which shows multi-level hierarchies more neatly and saves space in the table.
