Configuring the Side Bar

Configuration Shortcuts
The boolean and string configurations are shortcuts for more detailed configurations. When you use a shortcut the grid replaces it with the equivalent long form of the configuration by building the equivalent SideBarDef.
Side Bar Customisation
If you are using the long form (providing a SideBarDef object) then it is possible to customise. The example below shows changing the label and icon for the columns and filters tab.
Providing Parameters to Tool Panels
Parameters are passed to tool panels via the componentParams object. For example, the following code snippet sets suppressRowGroups: true and suppressValues: true for the columns tool panel.
