How to customize the drill icon in a JavaScript Pivot Table?

This article explains how to customize the drill icon in the JavaScript Pivot Table.

Customizing the drill icon

The drill icon in a pivot table is a visual indicator that shows whether a row or column can be expanded or collapsed. In some situations, you might want to customize this drill icon to personalize the UI appearance and improve the presentation of your data. To achieve this, you can target the built-in CSS classes associated with the pivot table drill icon.

Below is the CSS code snippet that can be used to customize the expand and collapse icons in a pivot table:

[index.css]

      .e-pivotview .e-expand::before {
        content: "\e22c" !important
      }
      .e-pivotview .e-collapse::before {
        content: "\e22b" !important
      }

In the code snippet above, we have targeted the .e-pivotview .e-expand class for the expand icon, whereas the .e-pivotview .e-collapse class for the collapse icon. Subsequently, we have used the content property to incorporate the Unicode characters for assigning new icons. The Unicode character \e22c (i.e., (+) sign) is used for the expand icon, and \e22b (i.e., (-) sign) is used for the collapse icon. You can replace these characters with other Unicode characters from our Syncfusion Icons library to meet your specific requirements.
