asked on July 16, 2019
Is there currently an option available to end-users that gives them the ability to expand or collapse all dimensions?
By default, we display the grid with all dimensions collapsed, giving end-users the ability to drill-down into dimensions. However, in some cases, an end-user may want to expand all dimensions. Is there a way for them to do this via the UI without having to manually click and expand each and every dimension record?
I took a look online & could not find any reference to this, but I also couldn't find anyone asking the same sort of question. The only thing I've been able to find is API documentation on setting the defaults (https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/options/#!grid).
Please advise! Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
We would like to confirm that it is possible to expand all dimensions via the expandAllData() API call:
flexmonster.expandAllData();
A button can be added to the user interface for this purpose.
Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration.
Also, you can customize the Toolbar and add a custom tab for expanding all the data.
Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration.
Please see our customizing theToolbar tutorial for reference: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/customizing-toolbar/
Furthermore, it is possible to add an option to expand all data to the context menu.
Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration.
More information about how to customize the context menu can be found here: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/customizing-context-menu/.
Please let us know if everything works fine for you.
You are welcome to contact us in case of questions.
Best Regards,
Vera
