Component body

The Views Dynamic Fields module provides a filter for use with Views module. This filter allows the user to pick and choose which fields to display for a rendered instance of a view for that user. This provides a customized view instance for each user.

This module provides additional advantages when used with the Views Bonus Pack module or the Views Excel Export module to generate an xls file from a view. The xls file will only display the fields you have chosen on the rendered view instance in browser.

Features

* Users can dynamically choose the fields to view in their rendered view instance
* Default fields to show when no filtering is applied, can be configured
* Possible to always keep certain fields to display to the user
* An exclusion mode to allow reverse selection of fields when there are too many
* Great for creating and exporting reports from the view
* Works great with Fields Embed Views module

Demo sites

* Try out yourself at simplytest.me for 7.x-1.0-alpha4 or 6.x-1.4 (sandbox).
