# Scroll options properties

The **scroll options** define how **data scrolling** is handled within the table element, including **non-scrolling rows, grouped data display, and automatic page transitions**.

***

## **Scroll Data Once and Show the Next Page**

* **Enabled:** The table scrolls through all available **data rows once**. After the last row is displayed, the presentation **automatically switches to the next page**.
* **Disabled:** The table continues scrolling **indefinitely**, looping through the available data.

> **Best Use Case:**
>
> * When the number of **data rows is unknown**, but you need to ensure **each row is displayed exactly once** before moving to the next page.

***

## **Don't Scroll the First X Rows**

* **Define a fixed number of rows** that will **always remain visible** while other rows scroll.
* Useful for **displaying critical or high-priority information** at the top of the table.

> **Example Use Case:**
>
> * **Airports**: The **first five rows** remain static to display flights departing soon, while other flights scroll below.
> * **Stock Markets**: The **top companies** remain visible, with **less critical stocks scrolling**.

***

## **Scroll Data, Group By**

* Displays **grouped data sets** one at a time before scrolling to the next group.
* **Select a column** that contains the grouping information.
* The **Data Provider must already be sorted** by the selected group column.

> **Example Use Case:**
>
> * **Hotel Room Reservations**: First displays **Room 101 bookings**, then scrolls to **Room 102**, then **Room 103**, etc.
> * **Company Sales Reports**: Displays sales data **grouped by department**, ensuring each department's data is shown separately.

***

## **Important Notes**

* **Each element in a row must have data scrolling enabled** for it to scroll within the table.
* **Sorting must be configured within the Data Provider settings**—the table element does **not** sort the data automatically.
